I'm in the middle of planning stages using Ender's lastest (April 2022) Spanish guide and various Spanish websites but am currently getting live information from an American gentleman walking right now via the Olvidado Facebook page of Rosa y Ray. He has been having difficulty due to closed albergues. Situation maybe temporary but this is what he has found so far:Here is a link to the Spanish (original) version of Ender’s Olvidado guide.
There are a few updates that haven’t made it into the English version — some new albergues, some new telephone numbers. And some changes after Igüeña. Guess the English-language translator has fallen asleep at the wheel.
1) albergue in Güeños is only for groups so he had to pay €58 for a hotel.
2) albergue in Espinosa de los Monteros is 1.8 km out of town.
3) albergue in Santelices (old train station) is closed. Per comment Ender this is due to person issue and no idea when will reopen.
4) Camping Playa de Arija no longer accepts pilgrims. Pilgrim was allowed to stay because son of owner told him on the phone that it was open. When pilgrim arrived the owner told him that he had problems with pilgrims and has changed policy.
That's it for now. I'll add information when and if relevant. He is now on day 6 or 7 and has seen no other pilgrims. Luckily he speaks Spanish.
Message is to call in advance and plan carefully.
Due to all this I'm questioning my walking this route starting end of June.
