Ulysse said:I completed the Camino Frances on Sept 30 and experienced bed bugs for the first time in my life... not pleasant at all.
Along the way at least one municipal albergue was forcing people to leave by 6 am so they coud begin cleaning and fumigation. This happend in Castrojeriz.
I caught this irritating stuff in a good private albergue located after Astorga at Murias de Rechivaldo. Too bad because it was really nicely kept. The rash appeared that afternoon and lasted for 3 or 4 days.
It is true that some albergues should be closed and be cleaned and repainted. I found this especially true in Galicia where I have met some of the worst conditions. The persons responsible open the place at 13 or 13:30 hr, maintain the register but I never saw them using a broom. In one albergue it was so untidy that some pilgrims did some cleaning up themselves!
