Instead of a 2nd pair of shoes, consider sandals for the end of the day to air feet.3. extra pair of shoes
These should not be identical sets of clothes. You need 2 or 3 underpants and pairs of socks, but nothing else should be duplicated. Think through these scenarios, and bring appropriate layers (not 2 of a kind):2 sets of clothes
What month are you walking? From May until October a liner would be enough.My husband and I traveling from Porto from March 19. It is our first Piligrim trip. Do we need sleeping bags or it is enough Sleeping bag liner (increases warmth by up to +15C/25F) if we are planing to sleep in Albergues?
We will start March 19th and walking for 2-3 weeks. From Porto.What month are you walking? From May until October a liner would be enough.

Remember, Spain is a very sivilised country, and everything you forgot can be bought there, at a better price most likely better quality than home. f.ex. my best walking socks ever were bought in a small shop in Castrojeriz: I never pass that place without buying another pair.

Indeed, Margareth: A Spanish gentleman in the finest meaning of the word. I believe he has all you'll need in stock. He knows me and we have a good hug when we meet...That special shop in Castrojeriz whee Alex gets his socks is undoubtedly the Bazar de Camino. Chock full of hiking/camping necessities and run by a true gentlemsn.

One last thought, you will be away for your accepted amenities for over a month, you may consider taking a small pair of fingernail scissors but far more importantly, clip your toenails before you leave but not too short! You don't need to carry clippers for this since they are easily purchased anywhere along the Camino. Outlandish nails can tear socks, snag, or become ingrown so blisters are a worry but do consider your toes as well.Hi, In a month my 15-year-old daughter and I will be walking the camino for the first time -- mid April to mid June. I'd like to travel very minimally. Can I reasonably get away with:
1. 2 sets of clothes
2. raincoat
3. extra pair of shoes
4. something to sleep in
5. sleeping bag
6. pillow case
7. water bottle & sling
8. passport, credit cards, money
9. cell phone
10. deck of cards
11. fleece jacket
12. comb, toothbrush & paste, shampoo, deoderant
What first aid should I carry? (beyond mole skin)
Will I be able to get laundry soap easily along the way?
Thanks for you help!

I file my nails on the Camino because a nail file is lighter than scissors.One last thought, you will be away for your accepted amenities for over a month, you may consider taking a small pair of fingernail scissors but far more importantly, clip your toenails before you leave but not too short!

The way goes through N Spain, not the Gobi desert! you can buy anything along the way, so - sleep in the clothes you will walk in the next day, no deoderant,, pillow case, or cards - you will have better things to do than play cards!Hi, In a month my 15-year-old daughter and I will be walking the camino for the first time -- mid April to mid June.
