I would agree with cecelia, use a good sleeping bag. There are plenty online weighing in at about 600 grams which work well in the lower temps. I walked from 20th April last year, it was a cold, wet spring and I was very glad of the bag in many of the hostels as they had little or no heating. I would also recommend a bag liner, silk if possible, the are available on eBay. They are light and warm and when the weather improves thats all you will need.cecelia said:Hi viebe,
Another point of view...
You didn't say where you would be starting but as a female, I would not be warm enough in that sleeping bag. Mine weighs under a kilo and says it is good down to freezing although I'd hate to test it out at that temperature. I often wore my clothes to bed in early April on my caminos and was still cold. And being from Brasil I would imagine you're used to a lot more heat than I am as a Canadian!. If you will be in the mountains it would not be unusual to run into snow at that time of the year and some of those stone buildings are not heated and COLD. It's true there are blankets in most albergues but not all.
Buen camino.

I like both kinds so overnight options and like playing it by ear, which worked fine in May and June when a sleeping sheet + blanket at albergue was sufficient. In March, is a sleeping bag absolutely necessary at most albergues?
