[QUOTE="sulu, post: 454065, member: 8293"] I like to stay in municipal albergues whenever possible, I also like to self cater so I try and choose albergues with kitchens, for others who think likewise here is my experience. I must stress that walking at a different time of the year or on different days of the week will make for a different set of experience. Day 1: I aimed to stay at Tres Cantos as I didn't want to walk to far on the first day, unfortunately the 'albergue' is in the Town Hall and only available between 21.00 and 06.00 so I walked on to Colmenar Viejo. There is no albergue but Sra Andrea lets rooms/beds for €20. No kitchen but there is a fridge, lots of bars locally. I had a salad and a long rest as I was on my own. Day 2:Mataelpino - €8 New, everything clean and in good condition. The kitchen only has a microwave but there are microwaveable dishes. There is a shop near the albergue. Day 3: Cercedilla - I paid €30 for half board at the Youth Hostal Las Dehesas so I could get in early and rest and cut down the following days walk. Day 4: I walked to La Granja de San Ildefonso, there is an Albergue Turistica €10 It is super and has everything one could need. I was alone and had the kitchen to myself, I'm sure that it is different in summer. Day 5: Zamarramala - free! Really well equipped, there is a hospitalero there in the afternoon. Day 6: Sta Maria de la Nieva - €5, a private albergue, a quaint little cottage, kitchen tiny but has everything. It was here that my careful planning fell to bits as I arrived on a Saturday afternoon and the shops were shut, I had forgotten Spain's strange opening hours. Day 7: Villeguillo - €5 A lovely albergue with a nice kitchen and dining area, that is until you try and cook in the kitchen, loads of plates and dishes but almost no cutlery. Only 1 pan and 1 frying pan, I still managed to prepare a 3 course meal for 2 from my emergency supplies!! Day 8: Alcazaren - donativo. The kitchen has a microwave and a fridge but no plates, cutlery or anything else and only 2 chairs. There are shops and bars. Day 9: Puente Duero - donativo This was place was mad but brilliant, we had a communal BBQ, breakfast at 07.00 Day 10: Cigunuella €3 plus 1 extra to use the kitchen. Really well equipped, there is a shop but when I was there it wasn't open in the afternoon. Day 11: Medina de Rioseco €7. Really well equipped and the nuns were really generous with provisions. Day 12: I planned to stay at Cuenca de Campos but it was shut, being used for a congress! Villalon de Campos €5 voluntary hospitaleros March to October. Very well equipped Day 13: Santervas de Campos €6 No kitchen, but there is a microwave and a few dishes and cutlery. It is in a wonderful old house. I hope this will be of use to someone. I must add that I always carry basic foods with me; soup, pasta etc. [/QUOTE]
