We too, will be walking from around October 17th from Lisbon though. Where do you start? We have down quilts which we like a lot plus a sleep sack.She thinks we can do the same on the Camino Portugues (roughly Oct. 15-Oct.28). We also carry light down jackets that we can sleep in if necessary. Usually staying in municipal or parochial alburguesp.

I walked the Camino Portugues this September and needed my sleeping bag, also not all albergues have blankets/will turn on the heating. Second half of October I would always take a sleeping bag and not just a liner. BC SY
McCopeland, we're starting in Porto, so unless you walk really fast, we will not see you.We too, will be walking from around October 17th from Lisbon though. Where do you start? We have down quilts which we like a lot plus a sleep sack.
I am on the Camino Portuguese now, it is quite chilly at night, glad to have my sleeping bag
Brilliant. Thank you for the update.Just an after-action report in case someone looks up this thread in years to come. We took the down quilts (Enlightened Equipment, 50 degrees F, 8oz for the Hobbit, 13 oz for me) plus silk liners (4oz). Stayed almost exclusively in alburgues, generally municipal. The quilts were worth every ounce and every penny. First few days were hot and they stayed in my pack (this was around the time of the sever forest fires). Then the cold rains came. All of a sudden the quilts were a big hit. Thanks everyone for your advice.
Depends, if you want to carry less but ready to pay slightly more there are private albergues that have bed linnens and blankets. There are different options available on the Portuguese way. If you decide to stick to municipal ones then be ready to need a sleeping bag, especially in Galicia. Light sliping bag gives you flexibility and comfort.Hi Jojo! I am planning to do the portuguese camino in a few days but I don't have a sleeping bag. Do I really need one or do u think the blankets in the hostels will be enough?
