      This is a "time of year" thing. From May through September, the rain pants are not needed. Synthetic fiber walking pants or shorts will dry very fast. We all know that bare skin is also drip-dry. I have worn REI "Sahara" 100 nylon fabric...

      Several years ago, my daughter and I hiked the Portuguese from Porto, via the coastal for a few days, about the same time of year you'll be going. Took rain pants and tried to use them a few times. The problem was that by the time we stopped...

      The only time that I would wear rain pants while out hiking would be to protect my lower body from a very cold wind rather than rain and even then there would need to be snow or ice on the ground. You are very unlikely to encounter this on the...

      I think your idea of the quick drying hiking shorts is the way to go. I took rain pants with me on my first Camino and they stayed in my pack most of the time. We thoroughly enjoyed the Portuguese coastal Route two years ago. We were lucky enough...

      Swift3 reacted to Simperegrina's post in the thread Need help deciding to bring or not to bring with Like Like.
      Albergues provide paper bottom sheets and pillowcases. Some private accommodation provide linen including duvets but otherwise you’ll need a liner or sleeping bag Kindle - totally an individual choice. Seems excess weight to me, personally. Can...
