I heard there is a service and it is 8euro for a backpack.
I will use the service at first day, too

Thanks, Aidan.

I intend to bring 2 pair light weight zip off trousers, 1 long sleeved t shirt, 1 short sleeved both polyester type, 1 lightweight fleece, lightweight waterproof jacket, poncho, couple pair socks and underwear, considering also a pair of waterproof trousers and maybe thermal base layers for cooler nights and early mornings.
Oh, and yes a wide brimmed hat is a must! I believe lightweight layers are important.
Hope this helps

Flip flops for the shower, I used Vaseline on feet before putting socks on and used a sock liner hence no blisters - don't shower in the mornings and shower the night before as your feet gets softer in the morning - hat and sun glasses a must as you walk through some paths and its so bright you'll need to protect your eyes from UV rays. Some kind of walking pole - I used one as it really helped me going down hill as some are very steep, going down SJPP and to Zubri so be careful.
Buen Camino!
