Women's Camino de Santiago Packing List: Camino Frances (ULTRALIGHT)
Days We Spend
@dayswespendAbout
If you’re looking for tips and advice on how you travel the world longer, relocate to Europe, embrace van life without spending tens of thousands of dollars, or plan for your first (or 50th!) Camino de Santiago — you’ve come to the right place. We started Days We Spend with a simple goal — to share how we spend our time while traveling the world. Then a funny thing happened. You guys started following along. And you had some questions. In 2021, we turned our Honda Element into a micro RV. We've walked across Spain multiple times, traveled around the world for a year, and in 2023 we made the leap to move to Spain full-time on an Non-Lucrative Visa. Shawn Forno is a travel writer with 15+ years of experience writing for clients and publications including Lonely Planet, Tortuga Backpacks, Matt D’Avella, and HuffPo.

The only packing list you’ll ever need! This is my second time walking the Camino Francés from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port to Santiago de Compostela. I walked this as part of a long Camino from Le Puy-en-Velay. We walked the Camino Francés section in September 2023. Here's a complete list of gear I brought in my 24 liter backpack, what I would change for different seasons, and how I only brought what I needed. Your walk can be so much more pleasant, carrying only what you need. A lighter bag is a happier peregrina! Gold stars if you can count how many times I say “merino wool.” We spent 26 days completing our Camino journey. This is my fifth Camino; I have walked all of them with an ultralight pack.
