GIt does seem like overkill for a main season Camino though the OP may have other uses in mind for later. I have just walked a few days on the Portugues and the Ingles using a 25 litre pack that was chosen very deliberately because it was a close...
-
GIn the circumstances where we don't have much information about the OP's intentions, I think this is the best approach, and which I would recommend to the OP. While I agree with the general tenor of the advice provided thus far, I am curious...
