Keep us posted @Anniesantiago , please. I'll start from Madrid on 20th June and all updates on markings, desvios and such will be much appreciated. I'll try to stay in albergues as much as possible (also because continuing on CF, Invierno & Muxia/Fisterra), but info on hotels etc. are welcome too. I know they'll be too expensive for single pilgrim, but nevertheless...
Ultreia!
Kinky, you might want to follow my blog at www.caminosantiago2.blogspot.com - I won't be able to post on the forum much until I finish up in June, but I will post on blogspot via my iPhone as often as possible.
By the way, Laurie, and those who have walked... what's to see in Vallodolid?
Unfortunately, I'd be there on a Monday so maybe I should just walk on by?
Thanks!
I've just made our schedule (we have to schedule because we are meeting people in Pamplona on the 19th).
Can anyone who has walked route this take a look and see if it looks ok?
May 2 - arrive Madrid - stay 1 night
May 3 - Metro to Fuencarral and walk to Colmenar Viego - Hotel Chiscon €60
May 4 - Walk to Manzanares - Hostal Pardor €40
May 5 - Walk to Cercedilla - Aribel Longrinos €30
May 6 - Walk to Segovia - stay 2 nights and see Alcazar
May 8 - Walk to Santag Maria el Real - albergue
May 9 - Walk to Coca - albergue
May 10 - Walk to Alcazaren - albergue
May 11 - Walk to Puente Duero - albergue
May 12 - Valladolid - where to stay?
May 13 - Bus to Simances and walk to Cigunuela - albergue?
May 14 - Walk to Castromonte - albergue
May 15 - Walk to Medina - nuns
May 16 - Walk to Villalon - albergue
May 17 - Walk to Santervas de Campos - albergue
May 18 - Walk to Sahagun - albergue?
May 19 - Train to Pamplona
Approximate cost of this trip is €700 if albergues are €10 or less.
That is running about €200 less than the section I wanted to walk on the VDLP and I don't have those two long bus rides, so for this year, I'm happy if this works out.
Hi, Annie, Is there a reason why you want to stay in Aribel Longrinos over the albergue? Here is where I stayed in Cercedilla. http://www.reaj.com/es/component/k2/311-albergue-juvenil-villa-castora.html
It's an albergue juvenil, but they have rooms (or at least they had in 2011) off to the side with two beds, private bath, just for pilgrims. I was there with two huge school groups and slept like a baby that night. Sheets are crisp and clean, all is nice. Meals are served, but they aren't great and I wouldn't recommend them. Bring food up from town and have a breakfast for the next morning. The albergue is about 1 km beyond the hostal Aribel, up on the way out of town. It's really already in the park area. They have an email address, so I'll write and make sure they are still taking pilgrims, but I can't imagine things have changed. Buen camino, Laurie

Thanks Laurie,
I just received this from the albergue in Cercedilla.
Not sure I want to take a chance:
Hi, Annie,
Is your arrival during the week? If so, I think it´s unlikely to be full. But one thing would be to call a few days before to check. They will know by then what their groups look like. I have also stayed in the Aribel Longrinos, it has some Civil War story attached to it whose details I forget. It´s fine, a little faded. Down around the corner across the street from the train station there is a good little restaurant up on the second story. There´s a lot of "upscale" stuff in Cercedilla given its status as a Madrid get-away, but this one is pretty basic, good home cooking. I´ll see if I can find the name if you are interested. Laurie
ThanksThat would be awesome!
Joe is coming over today and we are making our final plans.
On this page is a Guide and a List of Albergues for the Camino Madrid. It is in Spanish, but worth having:

Another guide here:

Thanks for those two, Annie! Much appreciated. It's great to do some cross-checking between different guides.
B.
You are welcome.
I just saw on my notes that the albergue at Alcazaren is "closed."
Is this true?
Does anyone know?
Or did I make a mistake?
Also, here is a guide you can print out, if you care to:

And let´s not forget the CSJ online guide to the Camino de Madrid. It´s pretty up to date.http://www.csj.org.uk/guides-online.htm
I´ll see what I can find out about Alcazaren. Laurie
