Chinchas in Monjardin

[Anniesantiago]

There are chinchas in the alburgue in Monjardin... we are taking a taxi to Los Arcos.

Hope the little buggers don't hitch a ride!

I had a fully blood-bloated bedbug land on my hand (having presumably drunk its fill from occupant of upper bunk and then toppled off) at 2 am in the albergue in Reliegos. Yuk :shock:

Where is that? I cannot find it on my map.

Annie,

it must be 'Villamayor de Monjardin' - between Estella and Los Arcos - a nice (but basic) albergue on the top of a hill.
Last may, a young Spanish, David, was hospitalero - very helpful and regarding.
Good souvenirs...

Pilgrim's greetings from Brussels,

No, I meant Reliegos... is that in Monjardin?

quick google search for reliegos indicated the following information.

Yes, it's on the route between El Burgo Ranero and Mansilla de las Mulas....nearer the MdLM end...

Sorry - I was too quick ... and did not read the thread 'properly'... of course you know Monjardin (better than me I might say - bueno...)

Hi Annie,
You don't say which of the albergues you found the chinches in - was it the one by the bar, run by the Dutch protestants, or the one on the right as you enter the village ? The Dutch have special mattress covers that are meant to prevent bedbugs.
By the way- thanks so much for your advice on how to flush them out - we used it all the time and it works !

The bugs were in the Dutch alburgue.

We also found them in San Juan de Ortega.
