[QUOTE="peregrina2000, post: 881263, member: 537"] In Sieteiglesias, there are actually two places to stay very close to the village. One is El Volante, located on the old national highway. The other, Hotel los Toreros del Trabancos, is located at an exit from the new superhighway. It’s about a km from town. I’ve attached a google map. It was @Rebekah who described the Volante as the Bates Motel, and Johnnie Walker recounted the story in [URL='https://johnniewalker-santiago.blogspot.com/search/label/Camino%20Levante'][B][I]his blog[/I][/B][/URL] (unfortunately, all pictures have disappeared, probably due to software upgrades). We walked out to the hotel where there was a good menú del día and a very crowded room of travelers eating lunch. In town, there isn’t much going on. There was a little shop open in the afternoon, and we enjoyed a long chat with the owner. She told us that the town is on its last legs, and that most of the working people who lived there drive into Salamanca or Valladolid (the town is equidistant to those places, about 50 kms). But she did not seem very hopeful. Maybe people who have been there later than 2013 have updates. And yes, the people were very kind. The alcaldesa who checked us into the albergue told us that she would tell the cleaning staff to leave the library on the first floor unlocked for us to use internet and computers in the afternoon (these were in the days before iphones). I was pretty gobsmacked that not only did she trust us with the keys to the ayuntamiento, but she also gave us free rein of the library! As I was hunting for the name of the Bates Motel doppelganger, I came across a relatively recent [I][URL='http://www.jakobus-info.de/jakobuspilger/levante.htm']list of Levante accommodations[/URL]. [/I]Not sure if it adds anything, but FWIW. Lots of pictures here — walking through wildflowers, several shots of Navas del Rey (which as a town of several thousand, has a fair amount of activity, so I’m sure there will be some bar open!), the inside of the albergue, the very formal pilgrim registry, and the view out of the albergue window as one of those knock down flashing lightening thunderstorms rolled through. One last thought — the albergue is spotless, and it occurred to me that that’s because the ayuntamiento cleaning staff have just added it to their routine. They were very nice too!
