What about october, november? Should I do something to prevent their presence during fall? Thanks! :-)
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
Bed bugs are a reality on the Camino and they turn up (like pilgrims and actually mostly transported by pilgrims) where they want. Sorry, but there isn't a 100% proof way to escape them. Buen Camino sin chinches, SY

I like the bit about blowtorches! Can they go in the hold with yer poles? :) Methinks it will have to be suspended animation for me and woken up on arrival at Santiago! I think that is how I arrived in the past anyway! :)

Yours aye,

The malingerer!

Are you wondering about the likelihood of a BB encounter on the Camino or in your transit Hotel or your flight cabin? ;) BB's occur wherever we do and wherever rigorous controls are not applied. That said the short and simple answer to your question is "Yes".

Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
