You could stop in Casar de Cáceres (which has an albergue), a short stage of about 11 km from the town of Cáceres, then Cañaveral, about 31 km after that. Gronze will give you good information about where to stay. Here is the link for the first stage: https://www.gronze.com/etapa/caceres/embalse-alcantara
Oh, when I saw that, I thought hooray — the municipality has closed up the place next to the Ayuntamiento and opened a new municipal albergue. But no such luck. The one in the picture is a private one, and though I haven’t stayed there, I can concur with all the negative recommendations in Gronze that the municipal albergue is in a state of very bad repair. As I remember, the bathroom situation was particularly unpleasant, but that was more than 10 years ago, I bet.The albergue at Casar de Cáceres is new and next to the pool.
My reaction was the same! I slept in the muni in Casar de Cáceres twice and since free - yes free, there was not even a donativo box! - I didn't feel I had a right to complain.Oh, when I saw that, I thought hooray — the municipality has closed up the place next to the Ayuntamiento and opened a new municipal albergue.

I looked at the website of this newer place, @Corned Beef, and it looks like they just have rooms with two beds. Are there albergue-like dorm rooms, too? Looks like a nice place!
But still no updated info on the albergue at the Embalse. Looking back at my WhatsApps, I see I stayed there in May 2018. There were a few closures for a couple of weeks, and then it never reopened after covid. In 2021 he wrote that because of a change in political party at the regional level, re-opening was delayed. And finallly in Feb. 2022, I got a message saying he was no longer the albergue manager and that the whole thing was in limbo. Which is apparently where it will be for the foreseeable future.
The bathroom/shower situation, right net to a bank of bunks, was like that in 2022.Oh, when I saw that, I thought hooray — the municipality has closed up the place next to the Ayuntamiento and opened a new municipal albergue.

Gronze doesn’t even show a muni now. It shows Hostal Málaga, Hostel Cañaveral (must be an albergue turístico), and Posada La Campana. The municipal albergue was also there when I stayed in Cañaveral in 2010, but I went to the Hostal Málaga.In 2011 there was also a muni "albergue" in Cañaveral.

It is only in Spanish, but if you have "chrome" on your device it translate easily. I love Gronze, I used it on all my caminos as my main source of informationI stick to my first plan and leave from Salamanca. I believe to have read its a long stage? Is there possibiliy to cut the stage, for its the first day of walking? And another question about the Gronze app, is it only in Spanish written?
