We were staying in different places, Laurie left earlier than I, because she wanted to make a 4 km side trip to see a Romanesque church in Carabias. (In fact we didn’t see each other all day until meeting for dinner at the Hotel Convento de Sta Ana.)
I was dressed and ready for rain, so of course it didn’t happen until later. At the end of the walk, I had settled on using one walking stick, an umbrella, and rain pants. No jacket. This is a normal smallish collapsible umbrella. The handle and strap are tucked under the sternum strap of my pack, and not much maintenance (holding) is needed. Yes, I like to have a hand free to adjust it, but mostly nothing is needed, provided the rain is gentle and it isn’t too windy.
Atienza has one on the best approaches of towns I have see on any Camino.

That is a great approach to town!
Gulp – look at the climb ahead to see the church .
Re the normal umbrella. I took a lightweight small collapsible umbrella once and gave it a miss as a bad joke … I could stop it turning inside out with the wind. So it was extra weight. I didn’t bother taking it next time. Always a ‘weighing up’ with benefits as against weight .
This umbrella is not bad, but I wouldn’t use it on a really windy day. It weighs 185 g. I have another tiny one of only 90 g, but it turns inside out in the slightest breeze. It is nice to walk without a hood and wet glasses!
