Just checked the price I was charged - was 35euros. Per single room
I know there have been increases but wondering if we are comparing apples to oranges ? Was the price above for 2 ? Or a special day ?
I’m okay & understand about cost increases / the hotel in Ávila was quite a hike from 2019 . However I just checked on my booking app (Toro) (hotel Alda) for a mid week / mid May (current prices) and there was little increase from my 2022 price. Maybe 3-4euros.
I hope you find something more reasonable by 2026. There may be an albergue by then
