Hi everyone!
I may have the opportunity to go on Camino on the last week of January 2025 and seriously considering the Sanabres.

I've read many posts and researched about the weather. Still, does anyone have information on how does it feel in the new albergue at Oseira in winter? How cold is it? I read they have heated floors, but do they have blankets? How does it feel?

I usually walk with a very light pack and use a liner, so adding a sleeping bag would require some extra trainning for the weight (besides purchasing a sleeping bag ).

Thanks in advance!

I think in January, I would want at least a light down or synthetic bag. I walked from Sarria and also spent a night in Muxia in January this year and I know from winter hospitalero experience the heat is often turned down at night in albergues.

I stayed at the albergue in Oseira in early May of this year. It is a beautiful albergue, but I didn't notice any blankets.
