The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

hi Sadie. If you stay in private accommodation you will not need a sleeping bag. If you stay in a parochial or municipal albergue you will need either a sleeping bag or a sleeping bag liner.

Generally, yes. You cannot sleep directly on the mattresses. Private rooms usually have linens, but the municipal, parochial, and private albergues do not. May can be cool or hot. A silk, nylon, or cotten sleep sack might be sufficient for your needs.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
Many of the private albergues that I stayed in last fall had blankets; sometimes you had to pay for them. One parochial albergue had linens. I liked having my own sleeping bag, although it was a bit warm, so next time I may just take a liner.
 
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
