Pilgrim Tips & Packing List Camino de Santiago: What you need to know beforehand, what you need to take, and what you can leave at home. Review: Great practical "how-to" guide for any Camino - I found this guide very helpful because it addresses how to pack, how to choose a backpack, footwear, clothing, and all the other items that will be necessary for the Camino de Santiago. It answers many questions that new folks that want to walk The Way would have, like myself. This is not a guide that will show you which route to take, there are many, or what the mileage is between stages but a more practical guide of "how-to" do the essentials, prepare the items that you will need, and what to expect as you walk. Myths are dispelled and a common sense approach is used throughout the book. I love the little anecdotes from other peregrinos (pilgrims) that are sprinkled though the book. It helps to drive the point home to use common sense and pack light. You could find this information in the many forums that are out there but this book makes it so easy to get that same information that I wish I would have had it when I first started researching. It would have saved me a ton of time. Do yourself a favor and buy it. It makes for a great read as it is very informative but not in a dry manner, as sometimes guides can be. I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to do their own Camino de Santiago. Review: Good book on the basics, A little helpful on my walk. - This is a short, useful book with the occasional clever line or interesting anecdote to help you start preparing for your pilgrimage. Though the information could be found in forums or blogs, here it is gathered together for an easy read. A lot of the information is basic preparation for people who have never done or researched a long-distance hike before. If this is you, this book is for you, just don't buy the paperback like I did. Buy the cheaper kindle version. I do have one problem with the suggestions in this book. I have not hiked The Way before, but I disagree with the author's recommendation for footwear. Hiking boots are heavy! There are many who believe that the support that they provide actually increase the chance of injury from a fall because they restrict natural movement. Also, waterproof shoes never stay dry. They hold in water and sweat, then take forever to dry. This is why people who thru hike places like Pacific Crest Trail tend to wear trail runners now. These running shoes grip well, breathe, dry somewhat quickly, and are super light. The downside is that trail runners don't last as long, but they should last longer than the 780km of The French Way. Perhaps this form of shoe wear is just not popular in Europe yet or at the time the book was written (published in 2013). I'm currently deciding between trail runners and broken in hiking sandals for my walk this summer. This is just my opinion, as the saying goes "hike your own hike." Overall, I recommend that future pilgrims read this. Buen Camino! Update: I noticed on my Camino that most Americans under 30 were wearing trail runners, and were quite happy with them. My feet were happiest with socks and sandals. A great look I know, but hey I'm happy when my feet are happy. I suggest reading the book still. It was useful in prepping for my Camino, just remember to listen to your body and enjoy the journey. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #274,112 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #81 in Literary & Religious Travel Guides #159 in General Spain Travel Guides #438 in Hiking & Camping Excursion Guides (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (920) | | Dimensions | 6 x 0.32 x 9 inches | | Edition | First Edition | | ISBN-10 | 1484079841 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1484079843 | | Item Weight | 7.7 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 138 pages | | Publication date | April 11, 2013 | | Publisher | CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform | ## Images ![Pilgrim Tips & Packing List Camino de Santiago: What you need to know beforehand, what you need to take, and what you can leave at home. - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71rg4v8rHgL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great practical "how-to" guide for any Camino *by F***E on April 23, 2013* I found this guide very helpful because it addresses how to pack, how to choose a backpack, footwear, clothing, and all the other items that will be necessary for the Camino de Santiago.

Very nice (customizable) packing list included as well as resource appendix. Even a translation of the Latin Compostela. I’ve watched many Youtube videos and read a few books about the Camino Frances but found this as a nice concise addition for remembering key points. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/1697583-pilgrim-tips-and-packing-list-camino-de-santiago-what-you](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/1697583-pilgrim-tips-and-packing-list-camino-de-santiago-what-you) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
