Crinkly Plastic Bags
Most albergues are dormitories…multiple beds in a single room or rooms.

Unsettling Experience with Strangers at Hostel
Christina, Your experience proves an old adage that I won't post. These people should be reported. Your instincts were and are correct.

I have to accept responsibility for a 25 Euro charge for a very mediocre meal. I...- Tinker

Will we be met with scorn or equanimity?
It is not the only way. My only comment about bikes is this - use some common sense. When my wife and I were hiking the CF in September 2017, we were on a rather long downhill stretch. By long, I mean probably at least 500m. The path was maybe 1.5m wide at the most. My wife was about 150m in...- Tinker
