Basic first aid is essential... bandaids, and polysporin. You shouldn't need more than that... and I'd skip the mid layer... rain coats are great windbreakers and keep you snug. Buen Camino!
I'm looking to do the Camino from Porto, next spring... mid April into May... did you find it hard to find accommodations in May? Was is particularly wet? I know the summer months are very busy, and I'm trying to avoid crowds.
What was the problem with the Portuguese section? I've done a large portion of the French route twice, and am turned off by the crowds... I am looking at going from Porto to Santiago next year and would love to hear what you didn't like about it... thanks!
