Well Annie, the Madrid part is not exactly part of the camino, so....XD
By the way there was a Japanese hair dresser doing the camino and he cut hair upon request, anytime and anywhere
I wish he was there for you that time
True for some points. But I wasnt trying to ask you to black list it. If just me, then I may not post this.
However I do think it would be nice to give warning for those who are going to visit the very soon, they may want this information as it takes time for the albergue to solve this. After...
Just a warning for you guys. 2 days ago I stayed in the albergue san nicolas de flue in Ponferrada and the next day I woke up with a few bed bug bites on my feet. I told the staff immediately and he took away my bed liner. Didn't see if they clean the other ones from the same room.

So far I can only think of carrying a bag with me when I go dog walking. lol
I will be doing my first camino in May. I would like to do some training too but I'm living in a big city (Hong Kong) and don't really want to walk besides those traffic and air pollution.... and the natural side is a bit too far to go everyday... Anyone can give me any suggestion?
