packing lists for june 2014!

Here is some information regarding what you need to bring, and what to expect for the weather during the month of June, in Spain! 


Week 1 at the Refuge/House

You may bring 1 carry-on size suitcase for the week at the house. For logistical reasons and space at the house, there is not room for everyone to have a full sized suitcase.
  • Warm jacket (sweatshirt, polar, etc.) Ligonde can be very cold in the morning and at night. It is not typical Spanish weather!
  • Bible, notebook, pen
  • Clothes

1 week on the Camino

You may bring 1 medium-sized backpack (about 40 liters) and it should weigh around 10% of your weight, or less.

Keep in mind that you will have the possibility of washing clothes by hand during the hike.

This list is a suggested packing list; you must decide what to bring according to your personal needs and what you consider important!
