Temps at night can be cool. Some albergues have blankets some do not.

And, some albergues turn on heat others do not.

Buen camino.

Liners are good, if you are a "warm sleeper" for some months of the year. Most albergues supply you with a sheet and most supply you with a blanket, so between the 3 one should be okay unless you are a "cold sleeper" then a light sleeping bag might be needed.

I walked CF same time last year. I carried a 45 degree down bag. No regrets. In fact, when I go same time next year with my fiancée we will also carry lightweight down bag.

Carried a light sleeping bag that unzipped to form a blanket, was grateful to have. I am "hot sleeper" but it can get cold.

I vote for the sleeping bag. I did the CF May/ June this year and was more than once greatful for having my sleeping bag with me, due to chilly nights or/and my own comfort. I guess Sep/Oct will provide similar night temperatures as I experienced.

In case you opt for the liner, just don't go to places that don't have blankets, eg parochial in Granon. I can't remember seeing blankets in albergues run by Xunta de Galicia...

Hunbertico, I completed the Camino Francis two years ago. I began September 19th in SJPP and completed my journey in Santiago, November 4th. I vacillated over the liner versus sleeping bag issue like you but in the end, I took a very light weight (less than 2 lbs) bag that was good for temps down to 45 F. I encountered all types of weather and in the end, was happy that I took it over a liner.
