My Camino Packing List

Written By Jessica Haley

The month of May was an intermission for my Camino. I would return to Spain on June 6, 2025 to resume my walk from Sarria, this time as part of a group. I will likewise be taking a break from this blog until June since I want to keep the dates consistent with my trip. For my last (for now) blog post in this series, here is everything I packed on my Camino. I weighed everything beforehand in an effort to minimize wherever possible. My goal was to keep my backpack around 20lbs and I succeeded. I was quite happy with this list and used almost everything I brought. I repacked almost exactly the same things in June just switching out one pair of leggings for a skort since the weather was hotter.
