Like.
You're absolutely right we all do live in glass houses. I agree completely that if I was an eco warrior that I wouldn't be going to Spain in the first place, nor would I have my rucksack with it's synthetic materials. And I'm not pontificating... -

People frequently talk about 'paper sheets' - really, they mean disposable sheets. As it happens disposable sheets can be (and are) made from cellulose - ie, paper. (There's a manufacturer in Australia for example - the home of eucalyptus)...

The problem with the disposable sheets is that they are totally useless. They detach themselves from the mattress in about 5 seconds so fail completely to perform the function for which they are intended.They are designed for examination couches...

mochilaverde replied to the thread private albergues cancelling reservations.Thanks everyone for your comments, I'm now more optimistic that the albergue that canceled my reservation made a genuine error and did their best to make sure that I had a place to sleep.
