Hi
Am walking the CP from Porto in April. My question is whether I need to pack a sleeping bag or can I get away with just my silk sleeping bag liner? I heard that some albergues no longer provide blankets post Covid. What do people recommend?

I’m doing the same, starting February 28. I’ll be packing a very light down sleeping bag. I’d do the same in April.
 
Starting from Lisbon late March. Will be taking a 1 season sleeping bag, mat and my trusty bivvy (1.5 klg for the lot) as well as a down jacket which is the "what if" upgrade for the bag and cool mornings.
Buen Camino to you both.
