Bed bugs at Albergue Barbadelo

Time of past OR future Camino
Planning to start Mid July
We stayed in room 6 at Albergue Barbadelo on 15th Oct. We found bugs in one bed upon arrival and the staff removed everything from the room even the curtains. However overnight I was bitten and saw 2 bugs. I then moved to an empty bed and got more bites but only found one bug. In the morning one other person out of 4 had bites. Seems the bugs are in the clean bedding.
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
Sorry about your bad luck! The bugs are likely in the walls or floors, or transported in your backpacks from the last place, rather than being in the clean bedding.

On the few occasions I have seen bed bugs they are crawling up the wall. I have never been bitten.
