Hello!
I am a first time peregrino, walking this June. I am awaiting my Brierly guide book, but wondered if I could ask the following question:
I would like to carry as little as possible. Would a light sleeping bag & a canteen be enough? If the Alberques have bedding, would I even need that? Although, then, I couldn't camp, could I? How about a "space blanket," one of those tin foil like blankets for emergencies. I think the June temperatures in Spain are fairly moderate, even at night, but in the mountains? Are there places to fill up a canteen and buy food interspersed frequently enough so that I would not have to carry food?
I know the guide book will probably cover this, but often they do not get this specific, so I thought anyone who has walked El Camino before could give me some suggestions. I want to travel very light, don't want to lug a heavy pack, but of course, I will if I have to. I don't think St. James shopped at LL Bean ;>)
Warm Regards,
Barry
