Including travel and some time in Barcelona at the end, I'll be walking from May 5th - June 10th and have no idea what to expect for weather therefore no idea what to pack. Any advise is beyond helpful and appreciated!

Thank you!One “outfit” to wear and one set in your pack.
Underwear, good socks, rain jacket (you will likely get rain at some point), pack cover. Something warm to layer if needed like a fleece. Small amount of toiletries/first aid (you can replenish there as needed). Small towel. Comfortable hiking shoes and an extra pair to change into at night. Something to sleep in (either a liner or very light bag).
That’s it. Lay out everything you think you need and then put half of it away.
A light pack that you can carry makes life on the Camino much easier.
Buen Camino
And I would sneak in one extra shirt if you will be traveling in Barcelona very long...
have no idea what to expect for weather therefore no idea what to pack.
None of us knows what weather to expect, except that sun and heat are certain in July and August, and cold and rain are certain in Nov-Feb.I am planning to start Camino Frances in the beginning of April 2019. Any ideas for packing & weather expectations?

If it works for you, why change it?Am I the only one who does not weigh anything? We are leaving in two weeks for a month in Spain including our camino of 10 days from A Guarda to Santiago de Compostela. Even if we were not going to tilt at windmills in La Mancha or visit Sevilla I would still pack more than one change of clothes. I fill my pack, wear it on local hikes to see how it feels, and make adjustments. I wear my pack several times a week home here so perhaps I am just used to the weight.

Of course that was the short version.
You get to have the planning fun of figuring out WHICH shirts/shoes/socks/etc. work best for you.

Where do you send the suitcase and how?For travel before and after the Camino I just bring a suitcase with my extra clothes (and hair dryer!), which I send to Santiago before I start my Camino.
Last year when I started in SJPdP I used the Express Bouricott service, and they send it to Hostal Lasalle in Santiago. This year, I walked the Norte and mailed it through the post office to Ivar's luggage storage service.Where do you send the suitcase and how?
Brilliant list.I recently made a list for packing ultralight all year ...bring all raingear (gaiters, rainpants and rainponcho and waterproof trail runners (or boots)).
My gearlist is here, and it's less than 5 kilos all year: http://camino.ninja/gear
