Gear List - Camino Portugués in July; Do I need a sleeping bag?

Caminho Português (July 2014)
Hi! Per the wonderful advice on this forum, I'm looking to keep the weight as light as possible.

When I finish the Camino Portugués, I'll be spending a few months traveling, so I plan to forward my main travel pack to Santiago de Compostela instead of dealing with it on the camino. By the way, if anyone knows of a service to use for this, I'd really appreciate it. I'll be starting in Lisbon.

On to the real reason for this post...


Since it's summer, I think I can get away with a small daypack with the following items, but I'm interested to hear what you guys think:

Clothes & Shoes
Convertible Pants (1)
Lightweight quick drying hiking shorts (1)
Merino wool t-shirt (2)
Rain Jacket or poncho (1)
Exofficio Hat (1)
Icebreaker Underwear (3)
SmartWool Socks (2)
La Sportiva Trail Runners (1)
Sandals (1)
Fleece (1)


Hygiene
Toothbrush (1)
Toothpaste (1)
Razor (1)
Shaving Soap (1)
Deodorant (1)
Soap (1)
Wash Cloth (1)
Toilet Paper (1)
Wet wipes (1)
Camp towel (1)
Sunblock (1)
Small first aid kit (1)

Sleeping and other
Sea to Summit Insect Shield CoolMax Adaptor Liner (1)
Inflatible Pillow (1)
Sunglasses (1)
Ear Plugs (1)
Guide Book (1)
Money, credit cards and documents
Clothesline and clothespins

Gadgets
Camera, cards and charger
iPhone and earbuds

Am I forgetting anything?

Now, the big question is should I take a sleeping bag, or is a liner good enough?

I'm also thinking about taking, sock liners and a blister kit. I'm also considering a collared shirt just in case I want to look presentable for mass.


If you have any input whatsoever, I'd greatly appreciate it.


Thank you!
