Sleeping bags

Hi! I’m starting el camino in the early june, what kind of sleeping bag do you think I must take? Thanks!!
 
Altus BALI Sleeping bag liner
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
Hello Carolina! I don't think there are any "must take" answers, but there are many varying opinions, that's for sure. Many people love sleep sacks and silk liners, especially for summer Caminos, but I have no knowlege of them. I have always enjoyed taking my lightweight, cheap (China made), Naturehike brand sleeping bag on my 3 spring Caminos and will be taking it again when I go this June on the LePuy route.
 
2024 edition: The Brierley Camino Frances Guide
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
thanks Chris!!

Yes, I only had a liner / sleep sheet in June on the CF, and that was fine for me. Some colder albergues provide blankets, too.

I found that time of year a silk, or synthetic, silk type liner was enough.
 
I guess it depends on whether you feel the cold or not, but I found a silk liner sufficient in June. On the 2 nights when it wasn't I wore all my clothes to bed too. I found it can go from really hot to really cold quite quickly too. But I've been lucky and the cold was only a few days each time.
Depending on where you stay you can get bedding - hostels and casa rural accommodation give you bedding, but in albergues you have to be self sufficient.
 
I carried a ' Snowflake ' Macpac sleeping bag the entire way from SJPdP to Finisterre , fortunately it weighs less than 450gms . I only used it twice and could easily not have . If you feel a little cool sleep in socks and some of your next day's clothes .

Very light, comfortable and compressible poncho. Specially designed for protection against water for any activity.

Our Atmospheric H30 poncho offers lightness and waterproofness. Easily compressible and made with our Waterproof fabric, its heat-sealed interior seams guarantee its waterproofness. Includes carrying bag.
