May 2021 Guide to accommodation (Almeria to Merida) available online

The Almeria association has updated its guide with accommodation for each stage. The May 2021 edition is available as a download from the facebook page. The link is not yet updated on the association website:

You will see that the donativo, municipal albergues are mostly closed for the moment. I believe this is because each location would need an on-site hospitalero to comply with daily cleaning requirements (anti-covid measures). Nonetheless, it's encouraging to see the route opening up again. Other announcements, such as the lifting of restrictions on travel between regions, also give me hope that we will see pilgrims on this route again soon.

Just saw another update on the Guadix association page (probably Paco posting)

Cuando la solidaridad y el amor al camino se unen, hacen que todo sea posible. Gracias a la donación y generosidad de la asociación de Canadá " Canadian company of pilgrims" los 8 albergues del camino mozarabe de Almería a Granada, cuentan con las medidas sanitarias para su apertura. Ya solo nos falta que vengan hospitaleros y por supuesto los peregrin@s.

It appears that the Canadian Company of Pilgrims made a generous donation to provide the 8 donativo albergues between Almeria and Granada with the required cleaning / sanitary supplies. And now the association is hoping to recruit hospitaleros to allow the albergues to open.
