The town of Hontanas derives its name from the numerous natural springs, fontanas, that are to be found here.

These days the fountains still pour day and night, but it is the local pool which does most of the refreshing.

Fiesta

San Roque is celebrated on the 16th of August.

Had a nice stay in Hontanas. The public pool is a budget friendly alternative to the spa, just 2€ for pilgrims!

Stopped here for breakfast on the way to Hontanas - they open at 9am. Lovely place. Beautiful setting and delicious food. Probably the best breakfast I’ve had on the Camino. Highly recommend.

I stayed here on April 14, 2025. It was a perfect location in this great village. The room was clean with linens and towels. David checked us in and was very cordial and helpful. We had a nice breakfast downstairs. I highly recommend this place and a stay in the town. In the summer there is a community pool.

We stumbled across the spa when getting the Kay for our accomodation. Decided to give it a go. It was magnificent!! Jets for weary feet, calves, thighs and shoulders. Many others but that is where I spent my time. Also a magnificent sauna and drench bucket for post sauna.

We paid $15 E for an hour which is plenty of time and the time keeper turned a blind eye anyway.

The management is super friendly and helpful, including coming early morning to open shop for a silly git (me) who left their phone in a locker!

The spa is certainly with a stop in Hontanas for achy feet and legs. Trust me, this is not a paid advertisement.

There is a tiny hermitage/shrine dedicated to St Brigid of Sweden in a little park as you enter the town. There is a small bench inside and a statue of the saint— a great little space for some quiet contemplation. She is co-patron saint of Europe and the hermitage was established in Hontanas as a meeting place for pilgrims. She made her own pilgrimage to Santiago in 1341.

I often skip visiting the church, but this one has a unique meditation/prayer space. Worth a visit.
