What are peoples thoughts on bedding? Do I bring my light sleeping bag or leave it behind and use the bedding provided? My concern is bedbugs. I start el Norte tomorrow but can leave my bag with a friend.
 
Train for your next Camino on California's Santa Catalina Island March 16-19
I have walked the full Norte and unless you stay in private guest house or hotel type accomodations, you will need a sleeping bag or liner for the albergues. I always brought my lightweight sleeping bag and was glad to have it with me in late April/May. A liner would probably suffice in summer.
Enjoy the Norte; it is special!

I walked it with a silk sleep sack into mid November. It got cold but I wore my clothes and I was fine.
 
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,-
Bringing your own bedding will not protect you against bedbugs. If they are in the mattress or bed frame they will bit you where you are not covered. I have always used my own silk sleep sack and/or sleeping bag and I was bitten on the both the French route and on the Norte. One time in a private albergue and one time in a municipal one.
 
The timing of this question was timed perfectly though I'll be on the Frances beginning in mid-Sept.
I have a liner and debating whether to bring a light camp blanket as well.
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
I am in Madrid now and a silk sleep sack is the most that I can tolerate at the moment.
 
Perfect memento/gift in a presentation box. Engraving available, 25 character max.
