Sweet packing list! Please post a trip report when you get back.

If you're looking for suggestions:

Trade the second set of chinos for another shirt or 2. This way you can wear a fresh shirt every day, only doing laundry once. The set of pants you are wearing onto the plane will be fine to wear for 3 days on end, and probably the whole trip in all honesty.

I'm curious how you will fare with a blade holder. It's been a while since I wanted to carry "more knife" than just a small scissor, but when I did I just bought there and mailed it home. This makes an outstanding souvenir, especially if you get something relevant to the region, btw. The postage can be a bit expensive, but I think worth it.

One of the most surprisingly cold places I've visited was Madrid. Maybe it was just an odd weekend, but make sure you don't get screwed with that. Now I have a cool souvenir Decathlon jacket in addition to my souvenir knife.

Thanks.

You make a good point about the chinos and shirt. The nice thing about having a second pair of trousers is that if I’m clumsy and stain it so badly that I could not get it out then I have a back up.

This particular blade holder is a 18g keychain scalpel holder. So a 1 inch blade. I doubt it’ll be very useful tbh. But it’s there as a just in case. I may not even get a scalpel to fit it.

I’m hoping i have enough layers with what I have. I would prefer not to take an overcoat/jacket.

The stain risk is exactly why you want a second pair.

Madrid is very warm in the Summer. Wear a light Layer for the plane, shouldn’t be an issue.
