Thank you very much for the information. A simple answer to a simple question is all I was looking for and I spent ages working through the very many threads that mention the words 'sleeping bag' without getting any clarity.If you are staying in albergues and considering the time of the year, I’d recommend that you carry a sleeping bag. It may be that some albergues offer blankets, but that’s not guaranteed. So, I would err on the conservative side and plan for needing a bag. The one I carry weighs no more one pound so it adds very little weight to an already light pack. Enjoy your Camino!
I highly recommend taking a sleeping bag this time of year. Burrr. I just googled lightweight sleeping bags and a few sites came up. One in particular Stealth Angel. Prices and weight look good. Plenty of options. Buen CaminoHi All
I'm planning my first taste of a Camino, doing the 100km from Sarria starting next week.
I've found the forum very useful in helping me put together a packing list but I can't find any specifics on sleeping bags. Am I likely to need one?
Thanking you in advance for helping me
Welcome to the forum.100km from Sarria starting next week
A silk liner was sufficient. When the temp drops then wear a few more clothes and you’ll be toasty.Hi All

I use this option because I don’t like the bulk of a sleeping bag and have to wrestle it into a stuff sack. I take a silk liner in late spring/summer and a fleece liner other times. You can generally find accommodations with blankets and heat if you’re flexible and look around, especially on the CF.A silk liner was sufficient.

So about three nights when you DID need a blanket? HmmmThere have probably been about 3 nights when I have needed to use a blanket. I assume as things open up again that alberques will continue to supply them.
But then I'm what the Spanish call "friolera", someone who gets cold easily.
Caluroso - as in, I used to be calurosa but now I'm friolera.Not to derail the current discussion, but is there a corresponding word in Spanish for someone who runs hot?
Take one. It can get cold at night without one, and if it does you will spend a miserable evening.Hi All
