Should i bring my inflatable mattress?

[Newlin]

Im flying to Lisbon early tomorrow and I'm thinking a lot about my gear. Like always the day before! Should i bring my inflatable mattress for Lisbon - Porto stretch or not?

No IMO, unless you plan to sleep outdoors, you also don't need the weight, I have seen many of these items discarded at albergues and along the trail.
Bom Caminho.

Okey. I have no problem to carry 30kg+ when I'm in the Swedish alps but have less then 10kg backed for this trip. Will upload gear list later.

I had thoughts to bring it because it seems like there is a lack of albergues between Lisbon and Porto. But now i leave it

No need for that. We walked from Lisbon to Santiago and brought our inflatable matrasses with us. Never used. Just ballast.
Everywhere are places to sleep. Leave them at home !

Not everywhere are albergues but lots of hostals, pensãoes, hotels etc.
At some places you can sleep at the bombeiros volontarios, volontary firebrigades

We slept at a schoolcampus, at a retraîte home where nuns live.

Read a little bit back on this Portuguese forum to find all the places. Is a good investment to be prepared

Godt tur

Hi, no, you don’t need it. And if you do, then make a plan. Better to sleep on a hard floor for one night with your spare clothes underneath you, than to carry something every day for only one night’s use. Jill

I don't think you need it - there are many places to sleep along the route, you can see and download them here (at least from Lisbon to Porto it follows your route - and then again from Redondela): https://www.caminodesantiago.me/com...df-route-portugues-route-monacal-coastal.404/

Bon camino!
