Fleece or midlayer
The layer you'll wear more than any other.
Warm hat (beanie)
Lows hit 36°F. Pick a hat rated at least 5° below that.
Gloves
Wind at 16 km/h cuts through bare hands in rural terrain.
Polarized sunglasses
UV index of 2.7 still reflects hard off water and snow at altitude.
Tick remover
Check ankles and, if there's a dog, paws and ears every night.
Travel first aid kit
Rural Spain means the nearest clinic is a long drive away.
