last section of Camino Portugués (October 2017)
Hi,
I am from Canada and will start walking from Tui on 2 October. Very exited, my first Camino!
Any suggestions are welcome :) Weather is a big concern, what to expect, how to prepare/ clothing...

€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.
Biana, you may have totally dry weather as fall can be a drier time often on the Camino. We did the Portuguese route from Porto in April and in 3 weeks, did not have a drop of rain as we got to Santiago and then went on to Finisterre and Muxia. This is highly unusual. Weeks later once we were home it got more seasonal and wet. That being said, you should have a rain poncho. For the early mornings, light gloves are good to have. Don't bring a heavy jacket, instead a light weight shell is good for wind protection. A fleece is good as well. Think layers where you can add or subtract to stay at a comfortable temperature. For early mornings in April, I often wore a knitted ski hat, but we had unseasonably warm weather in April this year, so I did not use this as much as previous trips. On cooler days, having warm hands, feet and head keep you comfortable, but since you are from Canada, you know all this!

Thank you very much for the valuable information! I'll be asking, probably a lot of questions :)
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.
