So, I offered to try to help a forum member make a reservation at this place for a mid-May Vdlp. For old timers, this is the former Lindamar hotel, up the road from the Albergue Turístico, and it has had a couple of other names I can't quite remember. In response to my inquiry, I just received an email from them saying they are full between now and the end of June. I can't quite fathom that, but in any event they do not appear to want pilgrim traffic.
So, since the Albergue Turístico is also closed (see note here: http://www.embalsedealcantara.com/ -- notice says that the licensee's concession has expired and so it is closed), I guess that means Vdlp pilgrims have to be creative.
From what I can tell, the options are a 44 km walk from Cáceres to Canaveral or a 33 km walk from Casar de Cáceres to Canaveral. Looks like that will put a squeeze on the albergue in Casar de Cáceres!
