Many thanks for that information. Accommodation a bit sparse in this area, so new albergue in Mataelpino is very good news.

I walked Camino de Madrid in june this year. In Manzanares there is a man only a few blocks away from the closed hotel and he offers pilgrims a bed and there is also a kitchen and showers. It cost me 10 Euros . . You can ask in any bar/restaurant for this private alternative. I recomend it. The old man is very nice.

So glad there is a possibility in Manzanares, because the castle there is really worth a long visit. Roger, wasn't this Camino de Madrid #3 for you?!

In May I stayed in an annex to a private house at 22 Calle de los Alamos - Sra. Elena. Alejandro showed me around. Very clean, neat and comfortable. Three beds in a large room with facilities adjacent, close to the town centre and plenty of restaurants. From memory €15. Nice place.

We stayed in Hotel El Yelmo in Manzanares.
It was wonderful and the food was excellent.
We paid 57 euros for a double.
At the time, we had asked around town and couldn't find lodging elsewhere.
Now that I know about these other two options, I'm filing the info away as I'd like to do this route again (and finish it).

 

[Anniesantiago]

From which closed hotel?
Is this up the road from the Hotel Yelmo or down in the village?

Laurie, there is a castle there?????

In Manzanares el Real? It's right next to and above the reservoir, I think you must have seen it walking in from the south. Supposedly the best example of Castilian military architecture, I think it's 15th Century. Worth a leisurely visit, it's pretty impressive.

I also stayed in Hotel el Yelmo (on Annie's recommendation) and really enjoyed it, but quite the steep walk up a long road to it.

Oh yes. Now I remember. I guess we were so busy trying to find lodging I forgot I had seen it.

We stayed in the albergue in Mataelpino during our CdM outing last month- very clean, new and worth a stay. If I 'm remembering correctly it was only 6 euros. Because the CdM is so sparsely traveled my walking partner and I had the entire place to ourselves.

The ''closed'' hotel in the village is not really closed. Just call the hotel number and the owner will gladly come and give you a room.
I stayed there last June. Excellent service and friendly owner.

Good news, but which village -- Mataelpino or Manzanaers? Sorry, I'm confused.

@peregrina2000
Laurie, this is the post I was referring to when mentioning "this man". I guess Roger could explain this a bit more detailed.

 

[peregrina2000]

Ok, so he is not connected with the hotel in any way. Annie, I guess you could just do what Roger says and ask in a bar. Sounds promising.

 

[Anniesantiago]

I think we'll just bypass it this time and go to Mataelpino. But thanks!

No no no Annie. You have to find "this man"!

I wrote to the Madrid amigos and they wrote back to say they have not heard anything about him from any pilgrim.

Thanks for the info about albergues above, evereyone! I'll soon be passing (or staying) in these pueblos so hopefully I can update this for June 2016... Leaving tomorrow...!

Bye!

To anyone walking the Madrid, I would strongly recommend the Albergue in Mataelpino. The number is on the door and the place is immaculate. The cost is 8 euros and there are plenty of eating options.

Ultreya,

Hi, BP!

How was your CdM? I guess you are already on Salvador by now. Wish you better weather that I have had.

Take care!

Hi K1,

Yes I´m in Santaigo now after having wrestled for two days with my plane tickets!!! Never thought I would get back home again. I just went through my notes for CdeMadrid. I used the guide in English here on the Forum (Max Long), and the guidebook of the Asociación. I will tell you all about it!

Weather: Not a single drop of rain the last three weeks. Nothing. So weather was fantastic but I still found the Salvador sooooooo hard. Holy cow. I swore I would NEVER do it again when I arrived in Oviedo but, in hindsight, I actually pushed myself too hard so it´s my own fault. I could have made more stages so not to rush. Those mountains nearly killed me!!

More to come!

BP
