VdlP - Albergue tracking during Covid

[JohnMcM]

Hello all,
This may be a figment of my imagination.

I have a vague, (age-related?) memory of reading here that someone was in the process of collecting information directly from albergues along the VdlP about their Covid re-opening plans/intentions. Having scoured the forum for that information I'm defeated in my quest to find it.

Does anyone remember reading the same thing, or if indeed it actually exists, where I would find it?

There is a Facebook page "Friends of the via de Plata group" with much current information about albergues etc

I'd be using Gronze. It is usually up to date. I just checked and it seems to be showing the albergues that are closed. Which does not mean that all the others are open but it does have telephone numbers for most, so you can at least check.

You didn’t imagine it John -

He posted here in the forum most recently with updates to the Vdlp accommodation.

I used his app and tracks on the Vdlp in 2019. A lot of info in it.

Buen camino

I just got back from walking Caceres to Salamanca. It's doable if you plan ahead. The details of open albergues is here: http://www.viadelaplataguide.net/pages/updates
