Thanks - I have both a rain jacket and a poncho I'm taking but I do need some rain pants for sure.Ditto all of the above replies.
Especially take rain gear. Sleeping bag/liner.
I take light weight bag. Silk liner.
Also always have my hammock in the bag. Have slept outside many times before.
And light weight sleeping pad. Use it in hammock or on floor somewhere.
You can buy most everything you need on the Camino.
I have taken the exact same items on all of my walks.
Many good packing list posted on this forum.
USE your pack, shoes, clothing, all items before you travel/walk. Make sure you have the right items, amount, weight etc.
Your ten lbs sounds a little light for that time of the year.
You will need rain gear of some sort.
Be prepared....than be sorry. Worse case...cold/wet makes for a bad day/night.

Just my opinion for what it’s worth.... No need for both a poncho and a rain jacket. Either one will do.Thanks - I have both a rain jacket and a poncho I'm taking but I do need some rain pants for sure.
You don’t need a head torch,. . . .
Petzl E+Lite? That's what I haveI used my tiny, 1 ounce, headlamp
Thanks for your advice. I figured I could forgo the toiletries other than what I might need during the day. I'm guessing my clothing list might be different than those walking the Frances in summer as I know I'll get some rain during my camino in Galicia. I just couldn't figure out if the Pilgrim's Office would give me the last stamp required.Hi Drew . . .
The basic gear is the same for 31 days or 6 days. That applies to your plans regarding lodging as well. If you stay in accommodations, be it the Frances or the Ingles, which supplies bedding and toiletries, you do not need to take them if you do not want to. The primary things like your clothing, medications, sunscreen, water bottles or reservoir, knife, headlamp, charger, etc will stay the same.
You do not indicate that you need a list of clothing and gear, so I'll skip that part.
The two a day sello requirement on your last day of walking into SdC is fulfilled by getting a sello at the beginning of the day. You will receive the final stamp in the Pilgrim's Office when you present your Credencial for your Compostela. If you do not plan to get either a Compostela (religious or spiritual reason for walking) or an alternate completion certificate, then you do not need to worry about collecting sellos.
If you need any help with gear or clothing lists, feel free to send me a PM.
Thanks - I won't plan on purchasing the sleep sack or towel.I would bring the same gear for two days or twenty+ days. However if I knew for sure that I'd be staying in private rooms with bedding and towels provided I'd leave out my sleep sack and towel.
I looked at the poncho I have and it's really not as long as I thought so I'll stick with the rain jacket and I'll pick up some rain pants.Hi, Drew. . .
If you don't mind my asking, why both poncho and rain jacket? Even on my thru hikes on the PCT and the Colorado Trail and on my Caminos I only took my poncho.
As an aside, I hike and backpack wearing shorts. If it rains, my poncho mostly keeps the rain off my legs, but even if it doesn't I just dry them off when I get to a stopping point. If the rain or the weather is too chilly, I just put a pair of base-layer bottoms on under my shorts. Even if the get wet, my legs stay warm and they dry out quickly when I'm done for the day.
Just a thought.
Some like the ponchos. I hate them.
IMHO I woud not take both poncho and rain jacket/pants.
I prefer rain jacket and rain pants.
I finally broke down and got the super lightweight, very breathable, rain set. Pants and jacket from REI. Costly yes. Worth it? Yes! Made by Outdoor Research.
One of the most important items ALWAYS take: SOL emergency blanket. Light weight. Packs small. Good insurance to have just in case.
Also wool watch cap, wool gloves and neck gaiter (Moreno Wool).
These are my standard back up items no matter how traveling. Be it bus, boat, walking, etc. That standard set will protect you.
You don’t need a head torch,blanket,sleeping bag,liner.
Check the weather - I use the Weather.es App. Free. - to decide on rainwear .
Poncho or pants,not both.
I have walked the Ingles( going again in September).
I am the Ensuitepilgrim so onlybuse small hotels like yourself !
It’s a great,little Camino - no problems with two Sellos a day.
Buen Camino.
Thank you for all the advice. There is so much help and support from everyone on this forum.Ditto all of the above replies.
Your kit should be the same for all Caminos. Be it one day or 45 days.
How many times have I seen, or heard, people who were for sure going to stay in a hotel every night...that did not pan out. For one reason or the other, things did not work out. They were not ready for staying elsewhere.
Of course may be something extra if walking in the middle of winter. But overall the kit stays basically the same.
Especially take rain gear. Sleeping bag/liner.
Weather that time of the year can be almost anything. Especially some rainy days. Cool, to even cold, mornings and nights. Damp.
But I have seen dry, even hot, days in Ferrol end of April and getting into May.
Hey it is Galicia...expect anything.

Enjoy your post walk days in Spain. Not knocking where you want to go after your Camino.
But, I would pick Donostia/Sebastian over Barcelona. And a few other places too.

Dave - on a side note, someone tagged your recipe for the Tarta de Santiago so I made it this past Sunday.
Incredible! Everyone loved it. I'm looking forward to trying some in Spain just to see how they hold up against your recipe. And it was so simple. Thanks!View attachment 52598
