I’m gearing up for a 5-day hiking adventure in Portugal and could use some packing advice. With all the stunning trails and unpredictable weather, I want to find a good balance between being well-prepared and not overloading my backpack.
What type of clothing do you think is best for the diverse climate in Portugal? Should I invest in any specialized gear, or will my regular hiking clothes be enough? Also, when it comes to food and water, how can I ensure I have enough without carrying too much extra weight?
Has anyone hiked in Portugal recently? What are your must-have items, and do you have any tips or common pitfalls to avoid?
