I was bitten up the night of Sept 21 and caught a live bed bug, that I slipped into a baggie and brought to the management as we were leaving. He said two things: the pilgrims bring them in, and they "disinfect every day." No apologies. I wasn't going to post on the blog, thinking that maybe it was an isolated situation (left the night before by the previous guest?) but then we ran into some Camino friends 2 days later in Burgos. One had been bitten up in the same albergue 2 nights later, including on the eye (ouch!) and had had to move into the lounge to get some sleep. The other person caught a few live bugs and did not get much sleep either. They had been staying in a different room from me, so not an isolated incident, in other words.
