    Beware of Phishing Scam Targeting Booking dot com Reservations

    I received a similar message that came through booking.com and not via email. It followed a thread of previous conversations with the host so I assumed it to be valid and completed the “card verification” out of trust. They later responded that it was indeed invalid. Checking credit card every...

    France to Italy

    Hello fellow pilgrims- I am thinking of taking a few months to hike from Portugal to Italy (Lucca) I can follow the route from Lisbon to Santiago, then Santiago to SJPDP but then the way though France from there seems fragmented. As far as I can tell, all southern French routes end at Arles...

    The Danger of using Permethrin to prevent Bed Bugs.

    I have been on the Camino for 10 days and have found bed bugs in my lodgings 3 times so far and am covered in bites as is my walking partner. I beg to differ!

    LIVE from the Camino More bed bugs!!

    I am now at the Albergue de Pelegrínos and all seems well. Fingers crossed! This issue with bed bugs does somewhat distract from the mental calm and clarity that I was hoping to gain along The Way.

    LIVE from the Camino More bed bugs!!

    Turns out I must be cursed. Checked into the convent in Santo Domingo de la Calzada. Set my bag down and checked the bed. Found a bug right away. The woman next to me also saw one crawling on the wall. As per usual, took a picture, killed it and got my money back. 9th day on the Camino and 3rd...

    LIVE from the Camino More bed bugs!!

    Soaked it. ;( But haven’t been using my sleeping bag as the private hostels have bedding which I foolishly trusted. Tonight I will be sleeping in my treated bag on top of my bed bug sheet. Hopefully I will have a bug free night and get some much needed sleep.

    LIVE from the Camino More bed bugs!!

    Day 7 on my Camino. Woke up at 1:00 am to find two bed bugs crawling on me and a number of fresh bites at Pension Logroño. Later saw one crawling on the wall. Didn’t know what to do as where would I go at that hour. Killed one then slept the rest of the night on my “bed bug sheet” with the...

    Bed bugs in Roncesvalles

    Turns out we did get bitten but took a day or two to show up. Have gone through the process of washing/drying everything twice now just to be safe. We have met several people enroute who have bites as well.

    Bed bugs in Roncesvalles

    Gite Ultreia but I would be surprised if they originated from there as I did not take out any of my personal bedding until ariving at Roncesvalles and kept my pack in the provided bin the whole time.

    Bed bugs in Roncesvalles

    Woke up this morning in beautiful Roncesvalles main albergue to find a bed bug crawling across the bed. I took a picture, then killed it. I only saw one and thus far no bites noticed. I had sprayed my sleeping bag and backpack so maybe that kept them off me. The staff were great about helping me...

    Bed bugs advices please!

    As I am new to the forum, I have not had much time to read other post on the "bedbug" topic but it is a concern of mine. I purchased the bedbug undersheet mentioned above and was wondering if anyone who has used it can comment on its effectiveness. Also, I will be hiking in Sep/Oct and plan to...
