Walking The Meseta in Late October .. what shoes to wear?

15C sleeping bag warm enough?
Yes, 15º comfort is too light on its own. Most albergues have blankets, but not all. The North of Spain has frosts in April quite often. Even May can be cold and this year was very cold. I carry a 0º bag, 3 seasons in Spring, but I sleep outside sometimes. In albergues you have enough...- freescot
