Will probably take a sleeping bag liner as emergency back up. Only a 2 week adventure in early September. Hopefully will not actually freeze.In hotels I suspect you won’t, myself…I love my light bag, and would rather have it and not need it , etc. etc.
My concern would be if you needed to change plans for any reason you have limited your op. However, we used to say in the military…”Tavel light, freeze at night”.
So afraid I have been of no value to you at all, except to say have a fantastic time!
Yes, pillows-can suck. I always bring a pillow case to stuff with dirty clothes. This separates clean from dirty in your pack and can be repurposed as a pillow(but with clean clothing).Bedding has always been available. Same with Casa rurals. The pillows can really suck sometimes, though.

I carried a silk sleeping bag liner in my backpack over large sections of the Camino Frances - I walk sections, like you apparently do this time. I don't avoid albergues but I avoid shared dormitories whenever and wherever I can and, in Spain at least, I always managed to sleep in private rooms in albergues, casa rurales and hotels. I never needed to pull the liner out of its small bag but on occasion I needed blankets for more warmth which were always available, either in the room or upon request. However, this may have changed due to Covid-19 related hygiene measures. So I think your decision to take a liner is a wise one.

If you are only staying in hotels then the sleeping bag is completely unnecessary.Will be walking from September 7-19 and due to COVID, have decided to stay in hotels rather than albergues. I am thinking I might not need to bring a sleeping bag. I wonder what experienced pilgrims think.
I'm a big fan of bringing a light sleeping bag. I used mine almost every night while staying in allergies.

If you are walking in early September you will without a doubt NEVER need a sleeping bag in a hotel. I have never been in a hotel/pension that not only had blankets/towels/linens but didn't have extra blankets in a drawer or closet. I have spent many months in Europe over the years, on and off the Camino and have never encountered anything different. I would never take a sleeping bag if I was walking and finishing anytime before the end of October. I would just use my sleep sack and those few days that may be chilly just wear extra clothes.Will probably take a sleeping bag liner as emergency back up. Only a 2 week adventure in early September.

But @gertrong415 isnt going to be staying in albergues.I'm a big fan of bringing a light sleeping bag. I used mine almost every night while staying in allergies. Buen camino

The first time I walked the Camino I ended up posting my sleeping bag back home to lighten the load as I stayed in hotels and Casa rurals after Orisson. The second time I bought a very light fleece type bag which folded very small for Orisson and just in case.

I have an inflatable travel pillow.Yes, pillows-can suck. I always bring a pillow case to stuff with dirty clothes. This separates clean from dirty in your pack and can be repurposed as a pillow(but with clean clothing).
In 2019 when I walked from Porto there were blankets in the albergues.are blankets provided in portuguese albergues at all / usually / not at all?
