One woman (middle aged, overweight) was wearing a very small miniskirt with frills. Like something five year old girls wear when they are going to a party.
. I feel this judgemental attitude overwhelms what is a fairly valid point generally in this thread about people surely not having nothing to wear but tanktops.(middle aged, overweight)

I am taking a sheer, lightweight scarf to put over my head when I go into churches. Even though I may only have my shorts and a sports top with sleeves on, I think the scarf will give an appropriate sign of respect and humility. It is almost weightless and adds nothing to the weight of my pack, but hopefully will add plenty to a villager's view of my reverent behavior when in a place of worship.
In hundreds of visits to churches and chapels I have seen veils only once in the cathedral in Santiago when an entire group was attired in "traditional" Spanish garb. The thousands of older ladies who seem to attend every mass never had veils.How common are chapel veils among Spanish women
I would say not Jess. What you have for visiting churches should be fine also.
Buen Camino.
I am no expert in ladies fashion as my wife will tell you but if you are dressed respectfully in churches you should be fine and I have seen many females walking in shorts and tanks and they did not offend meOk, so short shorts & tanks for walking + a cardigan & sarong for churches? Just want to clarify as the last thing I would want to do is offend anyone! No requirement for a 'church' outfit, per se?
