Rechts von der Hauptstraße befinden sich zwei Bars, die eine Mischung aus Pilgern und Lastwagenfahrern bewirten. Das Meson Alba ist die authentischste der beiden Kneipen. Die Hektik der Straße kann Villafranca ein wenig beengt erscheinen lassen. Um dem zu entgehen, solltest du zur Albergue San Anton Abad gehen, wo der große Garten und die Bar/Restaurant deine Gedanken schnell an einen besseren Ort bringen werden.

Hinweis

Ab Villafranca gibt es 12 km Camino ohne Wasserversorgung.

Feiertage

San Antón wird am 17. Januar gefeiert, und eine Romería zur Ermita de Oca findet am zweiten Sonntag im August statt.

Wegbeschreibung

Villafranca Montes de Oca, benannt nach den nesselbewachsenen Bergen im Westen, liegt am Fuße des Pedraja-Passes. Wenn du dich an die sanft geschwungenen Hügel hinter dir gewöhnt hast, mach dich auf einen Anstieg gefasst. Zwischen hier und San Juan de Ortega liegen 12 km brunnenloses Wandern. Es ist jedoch ein wunderschöner Wald voller Blumen, Aussichten und endemischer Eichen.

In San Juan gibt es keine Geschäfte, dafür aber zwei Bars, die Essen servieren. Pack entsprechend ein. Um dem Camino zu folgen, biegst du rechts bergauf in Richtung der Kirche ab.

We spent last night at this hotel and had a wonderful time. Very nice reception, pour room was beautiful and spacious, the bathroom with a bathtub! What a treat after a 34 km walk. Had a great time sitting in the patio having drinks, chatting with other pilgrims. The pilgrim menu was delicious. Everyone in the hotel was friendly and ready to help. Gorgeous grounds. Highly recommended!!

I found this town to be the least charming place I stayed, though due to the following distance it’s difficult to avoid an over night stop. It just was unpleasant and ugly.

Such a great albergue! Loved the single beds with a small wall. First time it felt like there was privacy in an albergue. The showers were good. The grounds are beautiful. Great place to sit and rest after the day’s walk. The pilgrim dinner was good as well. Great wine and stuffed eggplant!

Go to Bar Jomer (get a sello it’s Homer Simpson) and order the chicken wings. Also ask for extra picante if you’re having spicy food withdrawals like us. Possibly the best chicken wings I’ve ever had!

We enjoyed staying at Bar Jomer, mostly because of the friendly and entertaining gentlemen that checked us in and served us food and drinks all night. But be warned that if you get a room on the street side of the pension you might as well be sleeping on the highway because the trucks fly by all night and shake the walls. However the lack of sleep will help you get an early start up the mountain in the morning at least. The hotel/albergue in town also looked great.

We stayed and ate dinner here (pilgrim menu) and can confirm it is amazing. Really fantastic food and neat, clean, tidy accomodation.

This is a find of a place, great welcome, a lovely bar , we ate the pilgrim meal here , it was very tasty & you had a choice in the meals, the little supermarket was across the Rd, we stocked up for the next day here,
We were amazed while waiting for the others from our group, at the amount of Hugh trucks that passed at speed through this little village. The hostel is definitely 5 stars from our group

Meson Alba (turn right as you approach town) was open for lunch and dinner. Good selection of food. A little further up the road is a well stocked supermarket.

I disagree with the description of featureless hiking. The pine forest is lovely, there are some pretty views, and meadows of flowers. The wide road is shade-less for a few Km after the Alta, but this was a very nice walk into San Juan de Ortega and then Ages
