I am not Anna, but last summer there were blankets in all the albergues we slept in on the Salvador camino.I’m off on Monday to walk the Salvador! As I don’t do long stages (much over 25), I have found it difficult to plan. I might even take 7 days over it!!!!
A question, Anna. Do the albergues all provide blankets? I’m thinking it might be more than a little cold in the mountains, and I will need more than my light sleeping bag. Thanks

Flying to Santiago on Monday (arriving early evening), and then the first train to Leon on Tuesday morning. Hopefully all quick enough to also walk the first 17 km to Cabanillas on Tuesday. Who knows? Buen camino, in any case!
I came across the webcam for the ski station next to the Puerto de Pajares (Branilla, Valle de Sol) and it looks dreadful - snow and mist. And according to the BBC weather map, there is lots more snow forecast on Sunday night. Unless it improves rapidly in the next few days I do not think it would be wise to do this walk. I intend to ask for advice when I get to Leon, meanwhile I'm trying to think of somewhere else to walk if need be.
Don't think it looks quite so bad now.
The webcam is at https://www.hispacams.com/webcams/webcam-pajares-pajares-valle-del-sol-2.html
It is located at the Estacion Invernal just SW of Brañillin, at about 1850m. Maybe it gets more snow than the Salvador path.
The accuweather forecast for Brañillin seems to have changed and is not too dreadful now.
However, as I am walking alone, I won't attempt it if visibility is poor. A bit like the Hospitales route on the Primitivo - just not worth the risk. We drove through Pajares many years ago on a wet day and there would be no pleasure in walking in such conditions.
Purky, you don't need gloves if you have enough socks ..
Let us know what the mountains are like if you have any wifi!
