  Some depends on your mode of travel.  Don't bring a lot of stuff if youre
traveling a lot and on trains.  It'll be burdonsome.  When I went I brought
8 rolls of asa100 and 400 film, my basic camera body, a 50mm lens and a
zoom.  It suited me well and I got to travel comfortably for a month.  Also,
don't take anything you value too much.  Spain is full of pickpockets and
thieves ( not everyone, but more than elsewhere in Europe ) and I met 3
fellow travelers who lost their camera bags to clever thieves. ( One was
really bad.  The thief tapped my friend on the left shoulder and when my
friend turned to see who was there, the guy took his bag from his right
hand. )     Happy travels!!!
