Weirdest/Strangest item someone has taken on the Camino

[Purple Backpack]

I always carry a knit black dress and pair of flats. On my first Camino, I arrived exhausted in Roncevalles, took a shower and put my “dinner outfit” on. Walking into the dining room, I felt many “not a real pilgrim” side eye stares that made me flinch. I still always carry a black dress/flats with me (always visiting a different European city before/after walking) but don’t wear it to pilgrim dinners!

I always wear dresses on the Camino, one if which is a black knit dress. I'm really not concerned who thinks I'm a pilgrim or not.

Here’s to LBDs on the Camino! I do the same. I pair mine with bright pink crocs (my “shower / evening shoes”) The combination can draw some stares, but this outfit always makes me smiles at the end of a long day

I usually hike in a skirt or a dress. I started with Macabi skirts but I've been branching out. Much easier to use the outdoor facilities modestly, and I like the feeling of air on my legs on hot days.
