walking the Camino de Santiago. Carrying too much weight can lead to injuries and unnecessary fatigue, while forgetting the essentials can also complicate the experience. In this guide you will find a practical and realistic list of what you really need to take on the Camino, based on the experience of thousands of pilgrims and adapted to different times of the year.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"1221\" data-end=\"1224\" \/>\n<h2 data-start=\"1226\" data-end=\"1264\">Quick checklist of essentials<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1265\" data-end=\"1537\">To walk the Camino de Santiago you only need: a comfortable backpack, suitable footwear, two changes of technical clothing, a rain jacket, basic toiletries, a simple first aid kit, the pilgrim credential, and your mobile phone with charger. Everything else is optional or can be bought along the way.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"1539\" data-end=\"1542\" \/>\n<h2 data-start=\"1544\" data-end=\"1577\">Essential documents<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1578\" data-end=\"1614\">Before you set off, make sure you bring:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1616\" data-end=\"1891\">\n<li data-start=\"1616\" data-end=\"1697\">\n<p data-start=\"1618\" data-end=\"1697\"><strong data-start=\"1618\" data-end=\"1646\">Pilgrim credential<\/strong> (essential for hostels and for receiving the Compostela).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1698\" data-end=\"1741\">\n<p data-start=\"1700\" data-end=\"1741\"><strong data-start=\"1700\" data-end=\"1738\">ID card or passport<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1742\" data-end=\"1811\">\n<p data-start=\"1744\" data-end=\"1811\"><strong data-start=\"1744\" data-end=\"1765\">Health card<\/strong> or travel insurance if you come from abroad.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1812\" data-end=\"1891\">\n<p data-start=\"1814\" data-end=\"1891\"><strong data-start=\"1814\" data-end=\"1834\">Some cash<\/strong>, although nowadays almost everything can be paid by card.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1893\" data-end=\"1971\">Always keep your documents in a waterproof bag inside your backpack.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"1973\" data-end=\"1976\" \/>\n<h2 data-start=\"1978\" data-end=\"2014\">Recommended clothing for the Camino<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2015\" data-end=\"2070\">The key is not to pack a lot of clothes, but <strong data-start=\"2054\" data-end=\"2069\">the right ones<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2072\" data-end=\"2084\">Basics<\/h3>\n<ul data-start=\"2085\" data-end=\"2256\">\n<li>\n<p>2 technical T-shirts<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>2 pairs of trekking socks<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>1 lightweight long pair of trousers<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>1 pair of shorts<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>1 fleece or thermal layer<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>1 rain jacket or poncho<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"2258\" data-end=\"2310\">With this you can wash every day and rotate clothes without any problem.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"2312\" data-end=\"2315\" \/>\n<h2 data-start=\"2317\" data-end=\"2357\">Footwear: the most important decision<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2358\" data-end=\"2431\">Good footwear makes the difference between enjoying the Camino or suffering through it.<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"2433\" data-end=\"2570\">\n<li>\n<p><strong>Trekking shoes<\/strong> or lightweight hiking boots that are already broken in<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Sandals<\/strong> to relax after each stage<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Flip-flops<\/strong> for showers<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"2572\" data-end=\"2648\">Never start the Camino with brand new shoes.

For most pilgrims this means between 6 and 8 kilos, including water. The lighter your pack, the lower the risk of injury and the greater your daily enjoyment.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"3916\" data-end=\"3919\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"3921\" data-end=\"3963\">Do I need to carry a sleeping bag?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"3964\" data-end=\"4178\">It depends on the time of year and the type of accommodation. In summer, a <strong data-start=\"4050\" data-end=\"4065\">sleeping bag liner<\/strong> is usually enough, but in spring or autumn many pilgrims prefer to carry a <strong data-start=\"4131\" data-end=\"4146\">lightweight sleeping bag<\/strong> for extra comfort and hygiene.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"4180\" data-end=\"4183\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"4185\" data-end=\"4236\">What clothes should I take for the Camino in spring?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"4237\" data-end=\"4462\">In spring, the best option is to dress in layers: a technical T-shirt, a light fleece, and a waterproof jacket. Mornings can be cold and afternoons warm, so versatility is key to adapting to changing temperatures.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"4464\" data-end=\"4467\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"4469\" data-end=\"4524\">Can I buy what I need along the Camino?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"4525\" data-end=\"4731\">Yes. Along the Camino you will find shops, pharmacies, and supermarkets in almost every stage. There is no need to start with everything from home; many things can be bought on the way if you need them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-41395-3-1-2\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"10\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-41395-3-1-2\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Informacion Practica<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-41395-3-1-3\" class=\"widget_text so-panel widget widget_custom_html panel-last-child extendedwopts-hide extendedwopts-desktop widgetopts-SO\" data-index=\"11\" ><div class=\"widget_text panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-41395-3-1-3\" ><div class=\"textwidget custom-html-widget\"><div class=\"custom-button-style\"><div class=\"listing-item\"><a class=\"title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.peregrino.online\/en\/information\/preparation\/what-to-pack-for-the-camino-de-santiago-the-ultimate-packing-list-for-pilgrims\/\">What to Pack for the Camino de Santiago: The Ultimate Packing List for Pilgrims<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&lt;&lt;&lt; Information Preparation The pilgrim\u2019s guide on your mobile Download the free app for Android and iPhone More information<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[999],"tags":[1000],"class_list":["post-41395","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-informacion","tag-arti-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.peregrino.online\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41395","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.peregrino.online\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.peregrino.online\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peregrino.online\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peregrino.online\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=41395"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.peregrino.online\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41395\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.peregrino.online\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41395"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peregrino.online\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=41395"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peregrino.online\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=41395"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
