Hi I'm planning on doing 2 weeks on the Camino Portuguese mid September just wondering if I need to carry a sleeping bag for hostels ? Temperatures during the day seem to be nice still but any feedback on how the nights are? I'll be doing the central thanks

I took a light sleeping bag similar to this end of September (https://amzn.to/2Cfrxtw)
and it was perfect. Most, not all, albergues had blankets but it was nice to know I had my own bag that packed light. Nights may be pleasant, however it also depends on the person (whether you like to sleep cozy no matter the temperature or if you are a "hot" sleeper). Buen Camino!

Short answer - Yes, a small, light one, just in case.

I walked the Camino Portuguese in October last year (2017) and brought a light sleeping bag . Sometimes I didn't need it but sometimes it was pretty cold & I did need . I'm glad I brought it . After a days long walk it's nice to sleep with a bit of warmth . Good luck with whatever you decide . Bom Caminho.
