Hello all,
I'm starting my camino from Bilbao on 6th June 2019. I still can't decide to take my tent with me or not. In my reasoning, pros of taking the tent: saving some money, enjoying quiet nights (I hear a person or two might snore in albergues), sleeping in nature. Cons: the extra weight of the tent and the camping mat on my shoulders.
Your input would be highly appreciated as it would save me 3-4kg in my pack.

Thank you all so much, that's invaluable information. For those who have experienced the CdN would you personally take a tent if you would go again? I mean if the weight was no issue at all (weightless for arguments sake). Or would it be too much of a fuss (permissions, finding camping sites, etc.) and just not worth taking.
Is it common to take a tent on the Norte? I've not heard this. Thanks!
I don't know about June, but I for me there was more of a bed race when I did the Norte last July than I've experienced on the Frances which I've done in August/September, July/August and just now in May.There isn't the bed race of the C.F.

I walked from Paris. When I got to Irùn, I mailed my tent home and was glad I did. Wildland camping is not looked on favorably. From Irùn to Oviedo and the Primitivo, I saw maybe two tents.Hello all,
