Hi, Lettinggo,Hola
I walked Camino de Madrid in August 2017 and found this free List of Albergues from La Asociación de Amigos de Korea. Authors are Hector Rodriguez and Felix Maquedano Bellas.
My primary guide was The Pilgrim Guide from The Confraternity of Saint James and Gronze.com.
I also used Wikiloc and at times it was helpful; leaving Madrid and in the early mornings before sunrise.
The first 3-4 days before you reach Segovia can be a little 'difficult' as lodging is sparse and the days can be either short or very long.
I recommend to bring extra water these days, as the water supplies are few.
After Segovia it is easier to walk 'normal' days and stay at Albergues Municipal or Monasteries.
If you leave Medina de Rioseco in the early morning in summer do NOT walk along the canal.
Instead select the old Camino road.
The walk along the canal is 1,5-2 hours and will in season be full of mosquitos that will bring much agony to you.
I walked from Madrid to Leon and it took 13 days.
The temperatures were +36 °C at times so bring a hat!
Buen Camino

I would love a list, if you don't mind.Hi, Lettinggo,
I too had nasty experience with mosquitos on that stretch but only at the old mill and few hundred meters after it on the way to Tamariz de Campos. Another time I will walk Camino de Madrid I will try the old track. Actually there are two old tracks but I guess you mean the one on the disused narrow gauge RR?
Of course not all of the albergues on CdM are mentioned in the leaflet you posted but you already know that
There are albergues but also acogidas municipal like the Korean albergue in Madrid, cellar of Tres Cantos Ayuntamiento, Ray y Rosa in Manzanares el Real (http://www.rayyrosa.com/), two years old albergue in Mataelpino, polideportivo and two youth hostels in Cercedilla and so on. If anyone interested I can provide really complete list.
I found this spreadsheet of accommodation on the Camino de Madrid really useful, albeit that it is dated from 2015. I contacted the Amigos to confirm a couple of details and they responded quickly.
I absolutely loved the walk along the canal out of Medina de Rioseco - in early May there was no sign of any mozzies, just fluffy seedheads carpeting the path and the trees leaning towards each other over the river reminded me of a cathedral ceiling. So peaceful and one of the highlights of my camino. On the other hand my friend found it totally boring. Vive la difference!

Hi! I would love a complete list if possible. Thank you!Hi, Lettinggo,

@Magwood I have a little notation on my spreadsheet that says to use the path on the right side of the canal (i’ll have found that advice on one of the forum threads no doubt). Is your photo taken looking back where you have come from or is my advice incorrect?
Ordinarily I would just work it out when I get there but I know this is going to be my marathon day as the convent is closed so i’d rather avoid backtracking!!
Thanks for your advices. Unfortunately I can't open the PDF, do you have a web link for me?
Greetings from Germany
Thanks a lot, this works now. Maybe my PDF reader is on strike.Hola Germany
That is strange.
I have checked the pdf and it should be allright, but here is a jpeg which I hope will help you.
I turned down the resolution to minimize the size, so do let me know if it is to poor quality.
Hope this helps
Buen Camino

Edited: July 2018 so the albergue in Medina de Rioseco is not marked as closed.
