Or they had a family emergency? Sewer/water/power issues? Focus? Bedbugs to treat? Instead of thinking the worst (“bait and switch”), be grateful that they went through the trouble of finding you another accommodation. You had a place to sleep...
Day 7 July 2, 2024
Lubián - A Gudiña 25 km

Spoiler: no health incidents today🙂
Day 2 Fontanillas - Faramontanos de Tábara - Tábara 37.1 km ( 40 km total per my Garmin)
Last night there were only 2 of us in the albergue besides the hospitaleros Ángela and Paco. A young German is biking...
