Going to the Salvador in Oct. -- some questions

[Dawn of a new Day]

Does anyone know if there are blankets in the albergues on the Salvador route?

I would not rely on blankets, for one thing, they increase the odds of a bug problem quite a bit. I am pretty sure it was the nice puffy comforter in the albergue in Zafra on the Vdlp that wound up giving me my first confirmed case of bed bugs. On the Salvador, the albergues in Pajares and Bendueños have the luxury of heat, so if anything you will be too warm depending on the comfort level of the others who are there. But going in October, I would bring a sleeping bag. Buen camino, Laurie

In my recollection there were blankets available at La Robla; Pajares, and Pola de Lena. Nevertheless, depending on your intended travel season I would side with @peregrina2000 and carry a sleeping-bag on the Salvador. It can be cold in the hills and a turned ankle could turn into a very uncomfortable experience without some sort of insulation.

There were blankets in the following albergues, July 2017: La Robla, Poladura de la Tercia, Pajares, Bendueños. I think there were blankets in Mieres but cannot be certain.
