I'm planning on walking the Camino Frances starting in mid-April next year. I've been through all the sleeping bag vs sleeping liners discussions and it appears that the definitive answer is 'it depends'.
Haha never to tame but with the increase in Pilgrim numbers may need to in future unless pre-book or prepared to walk further than intended. In your original post it wasn't clear if your requirements where for inside or outdoors hence two options. Plus be interested if anyone else has opinion on this outdoor combination I have suggestedJust to clarify - we will be staying in albergues throughout our pilgrimage. I've grown too tame for to 'wild camp'!
I’m on the Camino now. Blankets are often available but not always. I have a liner but don’t really like it. But I have used my down quilt numerous times and would have had cold, sleepless nights without it. Sleeping bags or quilts will add to your total weight but without one or the other, the prospect of sleeping cold in your clothes is what you are left with at an albergue that does not provide blankets.I'm planning on walking the Camino Frances starting in mid-April next year.

With that in mind, I'm wondering if some of the experienced forum members could weigh in on the suitability of this option. Thanks!

They seem to be available in US for 20 $. If you are handy, you can make a quilt like here:

There seems to be at least two albergues without blankets: Roncesvalles and O Cebreiro.
Keep warm!
