Ledigos Bed Bugs

Time of past OR future Camino
First Camino. Starting SJPDP on August 8th, stopping along the way near Pamplona for a few weeks and starting again on August 30! (2016)
Just a heads up for those staying at El Palomar in Ledigos. I found a little black nest of bed bugs on the bed sheet just before crawling into my sleeping bag. When I informed the hospitalera she looked at it and said she would change the sheet immediately. I asked to switch beds instead (didn't sleep at all and covered myself with my bag) which she obliged. I'm not sure if anyone received any bites, but felt that I should post something for future travelers. Overall, the people at the albergue were really nice, just a bug problem.

El Palomar in Ledigos does have wooden floor in the attic that's why it's potentially bed-bugs dangerous. But it was perfectly clean and I didn't have any thoughts about staying there.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
Overall, the place was clean and well run. What I saw appeared to be a patch of their black specked, excrement on the crease of the fitted sheet and mattress. When we examined it more closely there were a couple of the little critters sitting in the area. I moved upstairs and saw nothing. Not sure of other bugs that do the same, but could be if solely located on that bed.
