Hello, now I need your help ;-)
Tomorrow I will arrive in A Gudiña and looking at many, many comments in Eroski and Gronze the albergue there is known since a long time as a 'bed bug castle'! Any recent experiences? Any tips for other accommodation options? I am happy to pay a bit more and avoid to catch chinches ;-)
Buen Camino! SY
I also stayed at that hotel and it was really great - the staff were so kind and when I left (2 nights) I went to thank them they gave me a grand farewell - would definitely stay there again just for old times sake - will be going through there in mid May - bed bugs are the worst thing ever but so far have never had that problem on my previous 3 Camino s - stayed at the hotel as I intended to stay longer than 1 nightThere were bed bugs end of June (I actually saw them) so I booked us in a small hotel, across the main road,opposite the road that leads to the albergue. Sorry, can't remember more details (my blog was lost when the site closed down at Christmas...).
It's a modern albergue so easy to clean, I am sure it has been done by now and it'll be fine.

I walked through A Gudina last summer and many locals told me that it's a constant problem with bed bugs in that muni albergue (same with Mombuey I was told). They all think the main problem is hospitalero but that might be also a local "political" issue...Current reports on the APOC Facebook page (27 March 2016) of live bedbugs in the Municiple Albergue in A Gudina. This is not good news for this albergue or the ones downstream.

Hola, BP,Oh, that's correct, your comment reminded me of the albergue in Mombuey where I luckily wasn't bit, but some other pilgrims were. Their legs had been chewed to the bone! ... OK, not entirely, but anyway, there were buuuugs. I wouldn't put my foot across that doorstep if I was on the Plata, yuck!!

Hola, BP,
I see you'll be on Primitivo this year. Any exact dates?
Oh, that's too late for me if I'll be able to go this year anyway. Via de Bayona, CF, Salvador, Primitivo, CF, Fisterra is my plan. Return home from SdC around June 15th...Oh, thanks for asking K1,
But I haven't bought my ticket yet. Been so lazy. In fact I think I'll do it right now. So yes: CamDe Madrid, Salvador, Primitivo. I'll book my flight for Madrid to arrive June 24 and start strolling the following day. Unfortunately I don't know when I will get on the Primitivo, if I ever get there. Towards the middle of July?
