[QUOTE="mikevasey, post: 249207"] Early in the year seems to be better than later on for avoiding bed bugs, it could be that pilgrims bringing them in from other routes set of walking from various places in April and arrive on the Norte in late April. The albergues themselves hopefully have been making sure they are free from infestation in the off season or when they are closed or if they haven't then temperatures are low enough that the critters remain dormant. The summer months and Autumn seem to get more claims of bed bugs. They give me the shivers, I have seen live and dead ones and their effects but I would not let them put me off from walking. There is two prominent members on this forum who post a wealth of useful info on how to combat or deter them, search the forum and it should help you have a bug free trip. If I was bitten at Arres it was because I decided to sleep on top of my treated liner and had become complacent with spraying my backpack every 5 days. Buen Camino [/QUOTE]
