Best to ask @rayyrosa for the current situation.Having walked this twice, does anyone have some thoughts about the accommodation situation at the moment? If you set off in a few weeks, I wonder what you'd find?
Currently re-looking at options for a trip sooner rather than later and I do like the Madrid ...

Currently walking, will be in Segovia by tomorrow. Accommodation is a real problem with all albergues closed. Many hotels have no vacancies and prices are high so far.Having walked this twice, does anyone have some thoughts about the accommodation situation at the moment?

Thanks. I suspected as much from other groups. Enjoy the walk. Segovia is great but the walk out of Segovia is one of my all time favourite days - classic big countryside, path leading off into the distance, mountains and a beautiful city being left behind...Currently walking, will be in Segovia by tomorrow.

However it is a wonderful walk
I am planning to start out from Madrid later in April. Will you share where you are finding accommodations? Thank you!Currently walking, will be in Segovia by tomorrow. Accommodation is a real problem with all albergues closed. Many hotels have no vacancies and prices are high so far.

Thank you for this update, I was becoming quite worried about some of the stages after Segovia as some towns have no other options. We had met with the amigos in Madrid and they told us all albergues were closed but perhaps they only meant the ones in the area around Madrid.Here is a list that I cobbled together for @jpflavin1 from watching Álvaro Lazaga’s walk on the Madrid last summer. This is likely to change, of course, but hopefully only for the better! I was actually surprised to find so much open.
Between Madrid and Vileguillo no albergues are open. (from memory, though, there is no shortage of private options — Tres Cantos, Colmenar, Cercedilla, Segovia….
Santa María Real there is a hotel
In Navas de Asunción there is a pilgrim albergue (closed) but also an albergue juvenil. It was full when he passed, but I don’t know if he could have stayed there if it had not been full with a youth group.
Coca - albergue closed but good bar (closed Tuesdays)
Vileguillo - albergue open
Alcazarén — albergue open
Valdestillas — bar open
PUente Duero — albergue open
Simancas — hotels, bar
Ciguñuela — albergue closed
Wamba — bar open
Peñaflor — albergue closed
Castromonte — albergue open
Medina del Ríoseco — hotels
Tamariz (a bit off camino) - albergue open with 1 bed!
Vilallón de Campo — albergue closed but I remember there is a hotel across the street from the albergue
Santervás — albergue open
Yes, will doI am planning to start out from Madrid later in April. Will you share where you are finding accommodations? Thank you!

Will provide an update once I find out
Staying in Puente Duero tonight and the hospitalero is Arturo who is the president of the Amigos in Valladolid and according to him all albergues between here and Sahagun are now open with the exception of one. And he taught us how to make a tortillaThanks for the update. So glad to see that the albergue situation is much improved, even from what I found last September.
Let us know if you stay in the dungeon albergue in Grajal. One of my few disappointments from the Madrid was that the albergue there had not yet opened.
Had a wonderful experience at puente duoro last night!Sounds promising. The great thing about the caminos was the albergues - they made the walks accessible to everyone. Not everyone can afford €50 a night for a bed on top of all the other expenses, so let's hope the albergues all open ASAP and advertise they're open.
Hi, it is called Hostal Avante, good rooms & quiet when we were there. Restaurant as well that provided us with a meal after regular hours. Will add a kilometre or so to a long day but we were happy to have a place!Sounds promising. The great thing about the caminos was the albergues - they made the walks accessible to everyone.

Any chance you can share more info about the truck stop in Nieve? That is the one night I'm struggling to see any options.
Buen camino.
I phoned them the day before & booked that way. Phone number is listed on Gronze or I can look it up for you if you need itThank you! I have emailed them but it came back undeliverable. I'll just show up and hope!
Hello, can I ask you about your choice of accommodation in Cercedilla, the albergue is closed and the recommended Hostal Longinos El Aribel only accepts 2 night bookings at the weekends... I'll be there on a Saturday night in June. I also tried the 2 Albergue Juvenils in Las Dehesas but they are also not available in June. Do you have a recommendation of a place to stay in Cercedilla? Thanks.Thank you for the useful updates! I shall be walking from Madrid in May. Any chance you can share more info about the truck stop in Nieve?

Hiya. I'll be at hostal la maya. Not exactly albergue pricing at 49 euro but that's the world we're in at the moment.Hello, can I ask you about your choice of accommodation in Cercedilla, the albergue is closed and the recommended Hostal Longinos El Aribel only accepts 2 night bookings at the weekends...

Thanks Phil, I'll take a look at La Maya and see if they have 'affordable' availability.Hiya. I'll be at hostal la maya. Not exactly albergue pricing at 49 euro but that's the world we're in at the moment.
That's odd. I've stayed at Aribel only one night many times. Is that a fiesta weekend or something? If all fails, it's a one hour train ride to Madrid (or another village) and back.Hello, can I ask you about your choice of accommodation in Cercedilla, the albergue is closed and the recommended Hostal Longinos El Aribel only accepts 2 night bookings at the weekends...

Thanks Anniesantiago, it's for a Saturday night in June and Aribel only accept 2 night bookings at the weekends... I'm currently looking at airbnb options.That's odd.

Hello, we stayed at El Aribel. Had no issue booking it but it is very obvious that smoking is allowed in the roomsHello, can I ask you about your choice of accommodation in Cercedilla, the albergue is closed and the recommended Hostal Longinos El Aribel only accepts 2 night bookings at the weekends...

Hello, is this the Hostal that you mentioned... https://www.gronze.com/castilla-y-leon/segovia/santa-maria-real-nieva/hostal-avantoHi, it is called Hostal Avante, good rooms & quiet when we were there. Restaurant as well that provided us with a meal after regular hours. Will add a kilometre or so to a long day but we were happy to have a place!
That is always so yucky. You probably know that smoking in a hotel room is prohibited in all of Spain. I have had a similar experience, going into a hotel room with a clear smoke smell. The receptionist immediately put me in another room. The hotels don’t police this, but they will respond to infractions when they are brought to their attention. The penalties for violations are severe and I think the hotels are always quick to try to remedy things.Hello, we stayed at El Aribel.

Yes it is, we phoned 1 day ahead and had no issues bookingHello, is this the Hostal that you mentioned... https://www.gronze.com/castilla-y-leon/segovia/santa-maria-real-nieva/hostal-avanto

So if this happens to any other forum members, make noise and ask for a new room!
Great, thanks Corine.Yes it is, we phoned 1 day ahead and had no issues booking
