Consider staying at municipal/parochial albergues. They generally don’t take reservations and often have beds when “everything is booked “.
Good luck and Buen Camino
I take issue with your statement that it was dirty. I was a hospitalero there last year and can confirm that the entire albergue was cleaned daily from top to bottom and freshly washed sheets and pillowcases were provided to every pilgrim every day.

I think there are more tactful ways to complain about a presentation. I sincerely hope the person who gave the talk is it reading your comments in the forum.

I suggest you watch Rebecca Rushton’s videos on YouTube. She’s a podiatrist/blister expert from Australia. Not sure if you’re referring to a potential blister on top of your toe or underneath (pinch blister) but she’ll set you straight on how to handle. Buen Camino.
