We'll be walking the Camino del Norte in May and June and can't decide if we need sleeping bags or just liners. we did the Frances September/October 2013 and didn't really use it at all so don't want to carry one if not necessary.
 
Altus ANDES 400 H30 sleeping bag
Down bag (90/10 duvet) of 700 fills with 180 g (6.34 ounces) of filling. Mummy-shaped structure, ideal when you are looking for lightness with great heating performance.

€149,-
Hi Kay,
I'd say that the del Norte is definitely wetter and chillier than the Frances (in May at least), and as far as I remember not all the albergues have blankets, so I found a light sleeping bag came in handy. I'm not sure which route you'll take after Gijon/Oviedo, but I also think a lot of folk would recommend a light bag for the Primitivo, as it can get quite chilly at night in the mountains.
