Time of past OR future Camino
Every year, since 2000. Most times portuguese camino also twice the french camiño. Two time Le Puy .
Hi everyone
I know that on thr french camino it is possible to walk with that very light sleeping bag - a cocoon linner sleeping bag, but I have read that many albergues on the portuguese camino do not have any blankets. Is it true? Do I have to carry a real sleeping bag? I'll be walking mid october, so it will be a little cold.
Thanks
Katia
 
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.

We've recently walked from Porto to SdeC all the albergues we stayed in provided blankets and quite a few sheets and towels as well. We only took sleeping bag liners.
 
I have been in some without blankets, especially the Lisbon to Porto section. I despise being cold, so I now take a "camping blanket" made of down and ultralight, (Horizon Hound is the brand I use) instead of a liner. I save the first disposable sheet I get, in the event that I come to an albergue that doesn't give out disposable sheets, and some do not! If my first albergue has no sheets, then I stay in a family run hotel. You don't say when you are going, but in summer, most likely you can get away with just a liner.
 
Very light, comfortable and compressible poncho. Specially designed for protection against water for any activity.

Our Atmospheric H30 poncho offers lightness and waterproofness. Easily compressible and made with our Waterproof fabric, its heat-sealed interior seams guarantee its waterproofness. Includes carrying bag.

€60,-
I´ll walk during october, I think it will be a little cold.
Thanks a lot
 
I walked with just a liner in the first weeks of October last year and I don't remember any huge issues. I was just walking from Porto, though.

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...
