Albergue de Peregrinos Betania - Cadalso de los Vidrios, Madrid

Benjamin de Castro

Es de los mejores albergues que me he encontrado en el Camino. Es mejor de lo que te puedan contar, en pocas palabras, el albergue tiene todo lo que un peregrino puede necesitar cuando termina una etapa. Quiero dar las gracias especialmente a los hospitaleros que cuidan el albergue por su esfuerzo y dedicación, y también a todos aquellos que han hecho posible este albergue parroquial de Betania que permite a los peregrinos disfrutar del camino de Levante-Sureste.

Wat een fijne herberg en wat een fijn onthaal. Eerst door de locale politie die we al op straat tegen kwamen en direct gingen bellen. Binnen 5 minuten werden we begeleid naar de herberg en kregen uitleg. Er waren lakens, dekens en handdoeken. Een mooie keuken waar we gekookt hebben. We hebben heerlijk geslapen met het open raam met een hor tegen de muggen. Fijne warme douches! Echt top!

I'll do this review in English because so many pilgrims are not from Spain. This hostel is absolutely as good as they get. It is run by the local Jacobean Association, in partnership with the local Parish. There is a huge kitchen, fully stocked, proper washing facilities, and split ladies and gents showers and toilets. The "hospitaleros" don't sleep in the hostel, but they're readily available by mobile phone and come and help you settle in. They charge a nominal 5 euros, which frankly, is an absolute bargain, as many hostels especially on the French route charge four times as much and don't look after you half as well. Cadalso is a great little town, very picturesque, and has plenty of local supermarkets for cheap food - you can cook in the hostel no problem, or plenty of bars and restaurants if you feel lazy. Another point that is important - Cadalso de los Vidrios, although it is technically on the Camino de Levante is within easy striking distance from the South West of Madrid, so it is a great alternative to the "Camino Madrileño" route North through Segovia. Between Cadalso and Ávila there are two quite difficult "puertos de montaña" - mountain passes. Cebreros to San Bartolomé is the "Puerto Arrebatacapas" and then you have the "Puerto de El Boquerón" between San Bartolomé and Ávila, but it is still a good alternative to Navacerrada if you have the legs for it, and the route between Ávila and Puebla de Sanabria through Granja de Moreruela is fairly flat, and passes through some very picturesque towns and countryside.

A pilgrim's/Peregrino's dream! This has to be one of the cleanest and we'll organised -as well as relaxing and useful Albuergues I've experienced (and I've walked a fair few Caminos). The hospitalario Javier is a warm hearted and genuine person that made us feel very welcome and explained everything perfectly! - Hamish John Appleby (Camino Sureste)
