I used AirBnB for a few places inc Monforte del Cid, Sax, Albacete. Don Fabrique was a hostal called Don Quijote. Lots of info here if you have the time - https://mikesroaming.blogspot.com/2017/04/
It was mostly OK in 2017, although the first stretch out of Toledo was poorly marked so I used apple maps to Navigate. Otherwise all seemed OK. Have you looked at Wikilocs for a route and track?
In Apr 17 I stayed in Monforte del Cid for the first night in a great Air BnB room. Other details in my blog ( be warned it covers all of my caminos from 2011 to last year! - https://mikesroaming.blogspot.com
I have only walked the Sureste and as Laurie said they do overlap a lot. In fact at many points it is easy to swop back and forth between the 2. From my notes there was not a lot of road walking for the first few days of the Sureste except for day 1 getting out of Alicante. However, as I don’t...
See - http://www.hpuenteromano.com I did not book this through booking.com. I just walked in and asked for a room (they have a LOT of rooms). Its nothng special but right by the old roman bridge. There are lots of places to choose form in MdL so need need to book.
A little surprised you have opted to stay in Quiroga for 2 days - I found it to be a rather dismal place with littel choice for food in the evening unless you wanted to eat after 2200! I stopped at Monforte de Lemos which is about 35kms after Quiroga which has lots of accommodation choices ( I...
My memory of the terrain on the Surest is a little different from Maxie - I thought overall there was a lot of variety through the various stages. However, there are very few pilgrims - I met around 5 and they were mostly in the last 100km of the Sureste.
Last year I stayed in the AdP in Villalpando which is between the school and local police station. There was a large signpost to it which made a change from having to hunt for it. AdP was very simple, it had 6 beds in 3 rooms and the hospitalero seems to live in! No locks on any doors……

I walked the Sureste last year and also walked on to Astorga and then the Invierno. Love it all, I saw less than 4 perigrinios on the Sureste and none as I headed up to Astorga. In fact saw more hikers while I had a coffee in Astorga, as they streamed along the Frances, than I had seen the...

thats one excuse out of the way!
By missing out the Alicante to Yecla bit I don’t think you will be depriving yourself of anything spectacular. The only item of interest in my blog from that stretch is the castle in Sax. Cartagena sounds lovely but I have no knowledge of the route. I tend to be a bit fascinated by ‘doing it...
