Backpack size on the Camino de Santiago

The question was:

I plan to go shopping this weekend but am unsure of what SIZE a backpack to purchase?

Read what our veteran pilgrims say about a good backpack size for the Camino de Santiago.

I read recommendations to stay with a 40L pack, but found that those don’t typically have a sleeping bag compartment. I am currently planning to use a 48L Osprey Kestrel pack, and was generally looking in the 50-55L range. But then, I am just getting back into backpacking, so take my thoughts with a lot of salt! Will also be interested to see what others have to say.
