Le rovine del monastero e ospedale per pellegrini di San Antón costituiscono un’incantevole visione che sembra abbracciare il cammino, le sue arcate protese a cingere la strada. Poco resta di quello che un tempo fu un vasto complesso.

L’albergue del paese non ha mai visto giorni migliori, e il dedito impegno di una squadra di hospitaleros volontari mantiene il posto il più tradizionale possibile.

Le nicchie nel passaggio ad arco, in precedenza usate dai monaci per consegnare il pasto ai pellegrini arrivati tardi, adesso sono un posto popolare dove lasciare messaggi scritti.

And will probably stay so until the end of the month. Don't count on a lot of cold water though because of the drought.

Several of the pilgrims staying here today thought the albergue was closed but it's very much open. No hot water, no electricity and no WiFi but the atmosphere more than makes up for all that.

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.

Camino de Sant…

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!!
