I think its been open a little while. One of the hospitaleros posted a couple of weeks ago. We also got word in our HosVol bulletin this week that it was added to the list for volunteers. Looks like a good alternative for those wanting to avoid the hustle bustle of Leon. Also two on the Camino Madrid were mentioned as new for HosVol.

Which two on the Camino de Madrid were mentioned?

Yes, I passed through there a couple weeks ago. Due to Wisepilgrim saying it was closed I booked a hostel. Trekked to the albergue to find it fully renovated and open. I asked the hosts to contact WP administrators and request corrections.

Thanks David. Both of these albergues show they are open in Gronze.
Another question. As many know the albergue in Ane has been an issue with pilgrims never knowing if it is open or closed or even when Gronze shows open pilgrims seem to arrive to a closed albergue. Now Gronze shows it as closed. Do you guys or anyone else know what their updated status is? The walk from Segovia to Santa Maria is 33k which is too much for my old legs to travel. I am leaning to stay in Los Huertos no matter the status. I also will take the precaution of bring food for the two days from Segovia to Santa Maria as it will probably be early November when I am walking through there. Based on what I see in Gronze it looks shaky for bars or shops with food to be open or even available.

I'm sure I know less than Gronze about their current status. When I walked last year, Ray and Rosa had the most information in a regularly updated table, which looked much like the one that was shared in this forum not too long ago .

On my Camino de Madrid, I stayed in Los Huertos to break up that day.

I went through Ane on September 27th and the albergue and the bar were closed (for construction) much to the surprise of the two Spaniards I met. They had expected one or both to be open, so we all then walked to Santa Maria. I think your idea of Los Huertos is a good one.
