Packing light works best when you plan for your activities and the forecast, not every possible version of yourself. Start with the airline’s current allowance and build from there.
Choose outfits that work together
Pack comfortable walking shoes and clothes you can mix. Add a layer for cooler evenings and any outfit needed for a booked venue. Check the weather shortly before leaving rather than assuming Spain always means hot.
Keep essentials easy to reach
Carry travel documents, medication, charging leads and accommodation details where you can find them. Check current airport and airline rules for liquids, batteries and bag sizes before travelling.
Leave some space
Accommodation may provide towels or toiletries, but verify rather than assume. A compact waterproof or sun protection may be more useful than a third pair of evening shoes. Remember there are shops if you forget something ordinary.
