The below list is only meant as a guideline as individual needs with vary from person to person. Nonetheless, as careful as I tried to be readying for my first Camino, I still took more than I needed. As the old saying goes, “to walk far, travel light.”
As we carry everything, it’s important to just pack just the “essentials.” Extras are left at home! After careful planning, each pack only weighs about 6 kg. To say we’re traveling as “minimalists” is even an understatement.
