What to take on your Pilgrim Journey

The most important element of preparation to influence your comfort on your journey ahead, is to know what to pack:

• Strong well run-in walking boots with good tread - you’ll be wearing them most of the day every day, so they will need to be comfortable

• Well fitted walking socks

• Warm socks

• Warm pullover or fleece jacket

• Warm outdoor coat

• Rain coat - The reality is that weather can change quickly so a light rain coat that can easily be rolled up and placed in your backpack will definitely come in handy!

• Suncream and lipsol

• Sun hat and sun glasses

• Drinks container (if you do not want to buy bottled water)

• Plastic bags (most backpacks are not waterproof)

• Walking poles (useful)

• Binoculars

• Camera and charger - Whatever Camino route you decide to take you’re guaranteed to be met with some spectacular photo opportunities

• Small torch

• Dictionary/Phrasebook

• Pilgrim passport (if you are wanting to receive your Compostela certificate – we provide this)

• Mobile phone (programme in local emergency number)

• First aid kit

• Whistle

• Sense of humour!
