Any good Chinches stories out there? Any specific camino that is reputed to have them?
I ran into them twice on the Camino Norte. The second time I actually caught a few crawling on me and slipped them into a plastic bag, to show the manager of the pension. They shut the pension down for a few days. But it is incredibly challenging to get rid of those beggers!
Moderators edit. Remember all the stories in this thread are about a particular place at a particular time and unless stories are repeated do not mean that any particular albergue has a problem as pilgrims can carry them in their clothes from one place to another. Most places are very keen to do all the can to exterminate these pests but outbreaks can occur anywhere. WM
