Sleeping bag or liner?

Time of past OR future Camino
Walking the Camino Frances August 29 2018!!
I'm going to walk for a few days in July - starting from Astorga and seeing how far I get. Last time I walked in September, I used a fleece sleeping bag liner and that worked quite well. Do you think it will be warm enough or should I take a sleeping bag as it will be more mountainous? Thank you!
 
€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.

I use a silk liner and a tiny down blanket to tuck inside when it's cold. I have found that I needed the down blanket in O Cebreiro in August, among other places in the summer. I know that many/most albergues have blankets, but I don't want to rely on finding one, and many that I've seen I wouldn't want to touch.
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-
I stopped using my bag completely after Astorga. This was mid-June to mid-July. Occasionally I did use albergue blankets with the disposable sheets.
 
liner is all that is needed in July...even in Galicia

In a word, "yes," too warm/hot for a bag in July. Besides, alburges, et al, have blankets if you need one.
 
You could take a parero doubles as cover, blanket, dress, scarf, tent, swim suit, table cloth , towel.

What Delphinoula said!!!
I used my sarong for these things PLUS as a bunk curtain, fashionable head wrap, halter top and medical knee wrap!
