Puente Villarente in Winter

[jsalt]

Hi, has anyone been through Puente Villarente recently and found anywhere open to stay? Or is ALL accommodation in that town closed in winter?

Nowhere obviously open or advertising themselves as such when I passed through quite recently.

Thanks, yes I’ve checked Gronze and saw that. I will contact them a day or two before if I need to. Just wondered if anyone has actually stayed in Puente Villarente in the last few weeks, or saw anywhere that is open (even a pensión). I’m planning a possible itinerary from Burgos to Astorga starting next week, not wanting to walk more than about 15kms per day. Tricky in winter. I’ll probably stay over in Reliegos, and not keen on 25kms next day into León, so hoping to stop in Puente.

For anyone walking after me now - Puente Villarente is closed. Have just whatsappd them. So a long day (for me) from Reliegos to Leon, 25 kms.

Alvaro Lazaga walked a few weeks ago, in fact he and @Bradypus crossed paths. Have you checked his videos for good stopping places?

Buen camino, @jsalt, are you going to spend time in León?
