Roncesvalles Albergue March - April 2022

[jsalt]

Hi, Pilgrims staying at Roncesvalles albergue at the moment (March – April 2022) – what do you need in the way of sleeping equipment? I understand that a disposable sheet and pillow case is now included in the cost? Are you bringing your own sleeping bags? Or is there heating, and you are using liners? Many thanks!

I was there on the 16th and used a liner. You will need earplugs!!

And were you warm enough with just a liner?

P.S. I always take earplugs!!

I was warm enough. The only place I was cold was in Paderborn in Pamplona.

I was warm enough.

Just trying to work out how one can be warm enough in Roncesvalles in March with just a liner.
Was there heating?
Did you wear all your clothes?
Was the weather particularly warm that week?
Thanks!

The Roncesvalles albergue has never provided blankets, except in perhaps some extreme cases.

Yes, that's why I am wondering how pilgrims are staying warm in Roncesvalles in March.

There is a heating system in the albergue, but we always advise to bring a sleepingbag as we do not have blankets for the pilgrims. The weather at the moment is cold and wet and the moment, pilgrims arrive very cold in the albergue.

Oh! Paderborn is open? YAY!

I was warm enough in my fleece liner and wore a baselayer bottom and a baselayer top. I did not bring a sleeping bag this Camino.

I was there last week on a cool and rainy night. There is heating in the Albergue, but I used a liner and kept my base layer on. It was fine… The guy in the next bunk had a sleeping bag but he just used it like a duvet.

Take a sleeping bag you'll need it at some stage any way!
