Welcome, Connor! Definitely bring a sleeping bag, but the question is...how heavy? I used an 'indoor weight' bag, good for a low of 15C, last September and October and it was fine. Not sure if that is sufficient in November and December. If the heat is on, it would be just right.
 
Thank you for your help, buen camino!

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.

Probably cold and wet. The forecast did not sound good. When we walked one year in May it snowed but we were nice and warm as wore a high neck fleece, hat and gloves. On the way we bought umbrellas and they were fantastic. Kept rain and snow off of us. Also you might like to look at Kerrygolds post yest or tie. re heating and hot water in albergues if you are staying in them. Best wishes Annette
 
Two ladies are both in there last weeks both have reported heavy rain & very cold. Yes at this moment a 20 deg bag would be wise. Or at least a 0 bag. One said they turned the heat off & they froze. The other had stopped at Acebeo after staying at Foncebeone not far but cold walk in the rain. Those last two areas are high Cruz de Ferro & Ocebrio. Maybe they will see this post when they wake up.

More 2024 Camino Guides available
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
@Connor it is heading into winter. Serious cold could hit any day. Be prepared. Albergues may not be open and if they are they may not be heated. Make sure you have good clothing, including waterproof gloves.
 
Today and tomorrow beautiful clear skies and very warm temperatures!
I walked in mid-December in 2010 from Sarria, and had splendid weather and no trouble staying warm. But I was LUCKY. It is def. sleeping bag weather all over Spain, as once the sun goes down, the temperature makes a big drop.
 
Let us pick up your suitcase once you arrive in Europe....
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).

The Xunta albergues are open all year, see also http://www.aprinca.com/alberguesinvierno/, but level of heating does vary, so yes, bring a sleeping bag and Buen Camino! SY
