[Gocamino] Sleeping in Hostels

[Maura Santangelo]

Dear Brooke,

there are no blankets in the refugios.  Considering the time of the 
year you would do well with a sleeping bag liner.  WE did need to use a 
pad only once.  I carried a very light sleeping bag and a liner, but 
used the liner most of the time.  I walked May and early June.

Buen camino
