In the last 5 years, Camino de Santiago has become a part of our life. We have walked many different routes and written a lot of content dedicated to the Camino (41 to be exact including this one). We created this resource page to make it easier for you to find the right content. On this page, all our Camino posts are divided into relevant groups so you can quickly find what you’re looking for instead of spending time scrolling down the screen on our menu page.

The pretty half of Stingy Nomads, responsible for all our land adventures (hiking, climbing, walking the Camino) and following them write-ups. Alya loves walking since she was a child, she prefers to walk 1000 km with a backpack rather than to do a 10 000 km road trip (actually any road trip). Alya is a big fan of Latin America, the Spanish language, and dancing. Every time we go away she desperately misses our dog Chile.

This might sound silly but my biggest concern about the Camino is the bed bugs. Are they inevitable? Is there anyway to avoid them totally?

Hello Jennifer. Thank you for the comment. We've walked many Camino routes and had bedbugs only once or twice. One time it was really bad the other I just got a bite or two. Both times were on the Camino Frances which I walked in September the end of the season. Most albergues do big clean up in winter before the new season. If you walk early in the season the chances of getting bedbugs are a lot smaller. If you stay in smaller private albergues you are less likely to get bedbugs as well. We have never had bedbugs in hotels on the Camino de Santiago. When staying in albergues we always keep out backpacks closed and away from beds. If you have any bites in the morning make sure to carefully check your stuff before packing. If no bites it means there are no bedbugs. Buen Camino
