Albergue la Parada in Reliegos July 5 2016

Warning--Bedbugs in Albergue la Parada in Reliegos
On July 5, we were to stay in a double room (two twin beds--Room C). We unmistakedly found live bedbugs, and bedbug stains on both the beds on the sheets and pillowcase. We notified the staff, who came to look and claimed the insects were "mosquitoes." We quickly removed our items and made arrangements to stay elsewhere, in Leon. To our dismay, the La Parada staff did not seem to know how to handle the situation as they then proceeded to flap the bedding around and move blankets from one room to the next, and back again, which surely will spread the problem. It was evening, so the manager was off duty, however the maids' comments gave the indication that he is aware of this problem, and yet is renting out the room.
 
Very light, comfortable and compressible poncho. Specially designed for protection against water for any activity.

Our Atmospheric H30 poncho offers lightness and waterproofness. Easily compressible and made with our Waterproof fabric, its heat-sealed interior seams guarantee its waterproofness. Includes carrying bag.

€60,-
It's a horrible problem. When I walked fro Le Puy to Conques18 months ago a couple of the basic hotels we stayed at had had serious bedbug problems and had taken drastic action (like replacing all the mattresses) to try to get rid of them. I got totally neurotic about inspecting bedding. They get everywhere.
