I have written more fully in my blog - http://notdunroaminyet.blogspot.com
My blog is mostly the ramblings of an old woman but with photos, or will have. (I don't realise I'm old until I do a camino and people keep commenting on how well I am doing - for my age
)
Guillena - the albergue opens at 2pm, the volunteer hospitalera is there till 9pm. 30 beds in 3 rooms, male and female showers, kitchen with fridge, tea and coffee provided. €10. Bar underneath does breakfast at 7.15 (except Thursdays). There's a large supermarket and plenty of bars.
Castilblanco - behind petrol station, €5, seems permanently open! 2 shower/toilet rooms, kitchen with fridge. Bar opposite, hospitalero visits at 19.00. Shops in town. large outside terrace.
Almaden - municipal albergue, follow arrows through town. €5. Clean, hospitalera comes and goes! Kitchen, fridge, outside drying area but loses the sun fairly early, or it does in March! Male and female wash areas. Shops and bars in town.
Real de la Jara - the municipal is reported to open at 17.00. Private albergue further down the road. €10 has 4 rooms, 2 for 4, 2 for 2. Big terrace, kitchen but only 1 small 'domestic' bathroom, with loo, wash basin and shower all together.
Further though town there is a hostal 'Los Molinos', also €10, not well signed as albergue owners remove the signs!
Monasterio - Parochial albergue - €10. On the main street, almost opposite the Ayuntamiento. Doesn't have a big sign but arrows lead to the door. The hospitaleras are volunteers and come and go. Very clean and modern. 3 rooms with 4 beds (bunks) plenty of space in each room. Male and female bathrooms. Kitchen and seating area and roof terrace. Supply of tea and coffee, fresh fruit and biscuits.
Bar open early on the road out of town.
Fuente de Cantos - Tourist albergue badly signed, reported to be really good but I didn't stay here. New private albergue hogging all the signs, I didn't stay here either.
Calzadilla de los Barros - €6 Albergue nearly 2kms out of town, not on the camino. Key obtained from the town hall. very clean, clean sheets and pillowcases on the beds, has blankets.. Cold water, no kitchen big seating area, very tranquil!
Puebla de Sancho - Albergue Touristica - Beautiful old building, out of town and off the camino, next to an 'Ermita' and the oldest bull ring in Spain.
