Albergue sleeping equipment...

Hello
going on first pilgrimage caminho portugues now in March, very exciting !
I was wondering how well equipped the Albergues are on the portuguese and spanish side along this route in terms of sleeping "equipment". Does one have to bring a sleeping bag and mat or are there sheets/bedclothing in the albergues ? Pillows?

Hi,
I would think it'll be a bit cold in march, I would take a sleeping bag with you rather than just a liner. On the portugese side the accomodation is mixed but I think most had pillows and sometimes extra blankets. Once in Galicia all the albergues give you standard issue Galician cover sheet and pillowcase (so there'll also be a pillow!) and there'll probably be blankets.
It depends how cold a person you are, I saw some folks in may doing it without any bedding at all just sleeping in their clothes but like I say I'd advise a sleeping bag. Some of the albergues are pretty old stone buildings and can get a bit chilly!
Buen Camino and have fun it's a lovely route! :D

I would like to walk the river route in Tui next month. I can see on google maps exactly where it starts, but it seems a bit overgrown. Has anybody used this route this year or last year...
Hello, my friend of 50+ years and I are on our first Camino walk. We are looking for: 1) safe, comfortable hostels in Lisbon; 2) stages from Lisbon to Porto (via Tomar) in about 16 days...
Hi I have searched everywhere to see if there is a luggage service from Lisbon to Porto. I know there is from Porto to Santiago, but Lisbon ???. Thanks for any info.
