Don’t know how current it is but the guide for route from cofrat of st James inLonfon worked well for me. It would be a good starting point.I am considering a Madrid/San Salvador/Primitivo walk in late September. If anyone is walking the Madrid in August/September, I would appreciate postings on Accommodation along the Madrid route.
Hi, amigo,I am considering a Madrid/San Salvador/Primitivo walk in late September. If anyone is walking the Madrid in August/September, I would appreciate postings on Accommodation along the Madrid route.
Hi, amigo,
Álvaro Lazaga is walking the camino de Madrid backwards (on his way home to Benidorm from Santiago) and has spent one night in the forest, one night inside a little church, and one or two nights at friends’ houses. Albergues closed in most of the places except Puente Duero, Santervas (or whatever the name of the town is where Ponce de León was born) and Castromonte, I think.
You can see him here.
I suppose things could get better, but right now it looks like it could be tough. I do think he has passed by several hotel options, so you might be able to patch it together if you’re willing to do that.
Re Villalon - when I was looking this morning there were 2 hotels on Booking.com.Ok, I have gone back through his videos and will try to put this in order going north. Actually it looks like you will be fine.
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, so maybe it’s open
Santervás — albergue open

Hotel Rural Venta de Alón is the place right across from the albergue. It was new when I walked in 2012. The hospitalero had made me a very nice lunch, and we went over to the hotel afterwards for coffee. He knew the owners, and they were very friendly and interested in the camino. We went to a “downtown” bar for tapas later that evening, and it is a really nice town with a good ambiente, IMO.

Sure!Laurie, can I copy/post this on my Camino preparation page?
Cheers mate. The bug has bitten again.Tbh. A bit jealous. Hope you get back out there Steve.
BTW places I'd recommend from my 2020 aborted CdeM...Hostel la Pedriza in Manzanares, Posada Rural Pena Pintada in Cercedilla and Casa de la Paca in Coca.Wow this is outstanding! I had just about given up on walking the Madrid starting early September for fear of not finding places to stay that are open. This gives me a renewed interest. I was going to settle for Salvador to Primitivo, now I am back to Madrid, Salvador and Primitivo. Thanks so much and I will be checking back for the updated list. I will also share my experience if I do the Madrid portion so jpFlavin1 and other have current information.
the Marist Fathers albergue is open in Sahagun!Am currently considering completing my 2020 aborted CdeM (from Valdestillas) & the Salvador (and maybe the Primitivo) in early August. For the Madrid leg I'm not counting on any albergues being open, so will be splashing out on hotels/hostals/CR's in Simancas, Medina, Villalon and Sahagun.
I loved Hostel la Pedriza in Manzanares in 2019BTW places I'd recommend from my 2020 aborted CdeM...Hostel la Pedriza in Manzanares, Posada Rural Pena Pintada in Cercedilla and Casa de la Paca in Coca.
I can confirm it is great (I had the entire dorm to myself) - and the food is very good.Apropos my Manzanares rant, it looks like there is a hostel there, primarily geared towards climbers but it looks great. Hostel la Pedriza
Right in town, too!
It was beetroot humus - yum yum. Followed by a rather nice homemade veggie burger.Hostel La Pedriza looks very nice but what is that pink concoction in the middle pic with the little toasts. Imma have to note that for my walk in (hopefully) September.
