via de la plata in autumn, albergues open?

Hi , I walked el camino frances from St-jean-pied-de-port to Santiago twice, first time alone and the second time with my 4 years old daughter. What a adventure it was!, she loved it and walked 70 % of the way. I carried her with a tissu babycarier and all the gear the rest 30 %. This autumn, with a friend (who already walked lots of different camino) and her granddaughter, we would like to walk all together via de la plata. I found this fantastic forum and also this super list of albergues on via de la plata. My question is: are those albergues open in autumn? Also on my previous camino frances, also in autumn, I got away from carriying a big sleeping bag since almost all albergues had blankets. Do albergues on via de la plata keep blanket too? Last question: how is the bed bug situation on the camino? Thank you to all

Hi Tindora, I was indeed travelling light but carrying everything was still heavy. It was a choice, I did not want to have a stroller to think about, plus humans are build to walk and I knew that at 4 years old, my daughter could do this. Obviously we did not walk 30 km everyday. We played all along, took time to discover what the camino had to offer to a child (animals, wild fruits and nuts, trees and flowers, funny sidewalks and playground in cities, etc) lots of pauses,well I am sure you did that also! I know though that asking a child to walk when she is tired is unrealistic, so I would carry her for her afternoon nap.
How was the Camino Portugues? Did you do it all? We were considering this route at the begining but when I read that 75% of it is on asphalt and that there is not a lot of days really "out in nature" we opted for via de la plata. Buen camino with your family.
