I found it really interesting to scroll through this section tonight, and the person who mentioned the potential fire hazard of some albergos lead me to wonder: Do people smoke in the public and/or sleeping areas of albergues? I know that Europeans smoke way more than North Americans, and in public places, so maybe yes? The snorers and the bed bugs can be fixed/modified, apparently - thanks everyone for your detailed tips - but smoking is something else.
Hoping to do a first Camino later this year, myself and my husband, aiming for the Primitivo. Are we going to have to deal with people smoking in the albergues? I'm not a Buddhist, but even if I were, I would have to admit my body does not tolerate cigarette smoke.
Does anyone have information on this for me?
Thanks, everyone, for the quality and thoughfulness of your postings.
