Thanks, in the meantime we’ve send a mail to the ayuntamiento. Today we received a postive answer, they are open. (Alb is closed in Santa Maria la Real de Nieva and Hotel Avanto was complete). I also will post info !There are several recent threads here in the Madrid section of the forum.
If you look at the Comentarios on Gronze, you'll find that in July, someone said the albergue in Añe was closed, but the bar offers rooms with a kitchen.
Buen Camino! I hope you'll post here on the forum. The Camino Madrid is at the top of my list for the fiture.

Starting to walk on 3/9. Does anybody walk this camino recently ? And is the Albergue in Añe iopen ?
Passed through Añe today and the Albergue is closed. The Albergue at Santa Maria is also closed. Next available accommodation is Hostal Avanto 2km from Santa Maria.

I started this Camino de Madrid on April 28 and it took me 17 days. There is no Albergue in Añe, only a bar. After 24 km we were allowed to add another 10.Starting to walk on 3/9. Does anybody walk this camino recently ? And is the Albergue in Añe iopen ?
And, for what it's worth, as I pass through now, at 9:35 am, a great time for first or second breakfast, the bar is closed, apparently for some sort of restoration.I started this Camino de Madrid on April 28 and it took me 17 days.

We had a fabulous night at that bar @DoughnutANZ especially at the end when the place was closing and their 3 year old was helping her dad wipe down all the tables. Such a family effort!!Your two Polish pilgrims passed me yesterday and we shared the night together in Alcarzarén.
If you are stopping here then despite what it says on the Albergue door, come to Hogar del Jubilado to pick up the key and to register.
Hogar del Jubilado seems to be a bar for retired people and is open when most other places are closed.
The wonderful lady who runs the bar serves very large cold beer, almost by default to tired looking pilgrims and cooks a great selection of food that you can order at any time of the day regardless of Spanish tradition.
I highly recommend it even if you don't stay.
My GPS track has the Camino going directly passed the bar but the arrows go a slightly different route.
Edit: My GPS track goes around the back of the church and circles back to pick up the Golden arrows again.
Buen Camino
I should be staying there the day after tomorrow. Good reminder to let them know I'm coming. I've also updated my notes to indicate that the keys are no longer at Bar Real or the tourist office but at the highly recommended Hogar. As recently jubilado, it sounds like the place for me.Your two Polish pilgrims passed me yesterday and we shared the night together in Alcarzarén.

Very nice food and here is a photo of the outside.I will chime in too, to say the Hogar was the most welcoming bar I found n the Madrid. Their combination plate was amazing!

That's where I am right now! I did go to Santa Maria first, though. It was worth the extra kms to see the cloister (for me). I wasn't sure the cloister would be open when I left in the morning.The hostal Avanto in Santa Maria was also a very interesting and comfortable night! (40 euros for bed and dinner)
In case anyone is walking there straight from Segovia and wants to shorten a long day a bit (to avoid backtracking from Santa Maria) -- there is a small road (very easy to see on Mapy.cz) that you can take from Pinilla Ambroz to the bigger road where the Hostal is located. You can avoid walking on that bigger road by taking a dirt track when you get to Pascuales; it runs parallel to the carratera and goes directly to the back of the Hostal. The Hostal is very obvious - and is also marked with a sign on the track. In the morning, you can take that same dirt track into Santa Maria.
The Gastrobar Cafe España in the town centre is also fabulous. We ended up having lunch and dinner there (with a break in between ).That's where I am right now! I did go to Santa Maria first, though.
