Best gear for Trail Cova da Bruxa

Galician mountains in March: Atlantic trail terrain with forests, mud and possible rain.

Trail shoes, hydration vests, trekking poles, waterproof jackets and the rest of the gear you need. Every recommendation is tailored to the race's specific terrain: high-altitude scree in Sierra Nevada calls for very different shoes than a forest trail in the Basque Country.
