Las ruinas del monasterio y hospital de peregrinos de San Antón son un espacio encantador que parece abrazar el camino, su arco que atraviesa el camino mismo. Una vez que es un complejo extenso, queda poco.

El albergue aquí nunca ha visto días mejores, y los esfuerzos de un dedicado equipo de hospitaleros voluntarios mantienen el lugar tan tradicional como se puede esperar.

Los nichos en el arco, utilizados anteriormente por los monjes para entregar comida a los peregrinos que llegan tarde, ahora son un lugar popular para dejar mensajes escritos.

Camino de Sant…

The accommodation is located inside the ruins of a monastery, it looks absolutely magical. The hosts are very nice, they provide communal dinner for everyone. It’s all donativo. There are bunk beds and shower. It’s extremely clean. There is no electricity / light and no hot water. BUT - this experience is one of a kind. If you need hot shower or to charge your phone, it’s not your choice probably. But otherwise this is the most memorable place you’ll stay in on the whole Camino. Somehow it’s also not very crowded despite Hontanas being completely full. I can’t express how I recommend everyone to stay in San Anton.

An albergue unlike any other. Nestled in the ruins of a monastery founded in 1146, a small building affords you shelter and simple but perfectly serviceable bunk beds. The sign on the road is modest (‘Refugio’ plus an arrow), but this is well worth your attention. No electricity and no hot water, but so what? Cold showers are fine, especially in summer. This is a sublime, tranquil setting and one conducive to reflection Communal meal and drinks afterwards in a ‘secret’ bar across the road add an extra edge. Do not miss this one!!
