    Route maps/tour guide books.
    Sunnies as said, different lenses as well if possible.
    Peaked cap, you may get a little rain you never know.
    Nivea lip balm, mine always crack in the sun and wind. But generally theres stores over there where you can up little bits like this.

    Arm warmers and a lightweight gilet in with your clothing?. It can be chilly on the descents.

    tubes, tyres, hanger, brake cable, gear cable, brake blocks

    We took spare tyre on our holiday and ended up using it ...

    Take your own saddle. No point in spending all that money to find after 30 miles you've got a sore ar$e and 5 days of holiday left.

    Wind cheater just in case the temp is not as warm as you hope - we went to Barcelona early April many years ago and ended up needing fleeces.
