I’ve been in touch with Ender recently to see if he and @MikeJS can meet up before Mike heads off the Olvidado to the Salvador. And I got a few new bits of info for people making lists and keeping track of the improvements.
Between Cervera and Guardo, the long stage can now be broken up with a stop in Villanueva de la Peña. There is a new touristic albergue. Apparently quite nice.
Boñar is in the process of renovating a building for an albergue. Doors and new windows already installed, interior work now ongoing.
Vegacervera — in addition to Pablo’s albergue juvenil, which is quite comfortable but may be filled with youth groups, there is the Hotel Chousa Verde, good prices for pilgrims, spa included!
And, if you are going to be walking soon — at Coladilla, a small hamlet after Vegacervera, the camino arrows will take you up and along a very untraveled road. BUT... the app now takes you through an off-road path (not there when I went through in June), which Ender says is quite pretty.
The Olvidado is really rising to the challenge to provide pilgrim facilities! Buen camino, Laurie
