Hot weather

You will need long sleeved shirts to protect against the sun as well as a couple of cotton t- shirts.

Remember that the Spanish (mountain) sun is strong and you can burn quickly. Wide brimmed hats are preferable to baseball caps for sun protection at the picnic. Both sunglasses (elastic is useful to keep them in place whilst riding) and a good quality sunscreen (rated SPF15 or higher) should be used including lip salve. For that fair skinned it may be wise to take a complete sun-block.

A pair of flip flops, swimming costume and shorts for when you get a chance to relax. It may get chilly in the evening even on hot days, so a fleece is necessary and a lightweight jacket may be useful.

You should expect any kind of weather in any season and on any trail! A waterproof poncho or rain jacket will not take up much space, but can provide a high level of comfort!
