I am on the Via de la Plata now and am staying in the albergue in Fuente de Cantos tonight. It is open. As I understand they closed some time during December-February I believe due to lack of people staying there. I have been told that all of the Albergues turisticos of extremadura are open at this time. I will post again if I find that any are closed.
Also... I can wholeheartedly recommend the albergue in Monesterio. Father Miguel ANgel, the local parish priest, has opened a beautiful albergue. He has walked various caminos himself a total of 15 times and he certainly knows what pilgrims need/want in an albergue. The building had been gutted and very recently renovated so it is in excellent condition. He is a kind and thoughtful man and his efforts really show in the albergue.
The weather on the via de la plata now is gorgeous...around 23· and very sunny and clear. It has been very dry which for me, is good, but very bad for the farmers.
