The spring at the Arroyo San Bol (literally 'Saint Bol's Creek') is reputed to cure sore feet — whether this is folk medicine or placebo effect, soaking them in the cold water certainly helps. A small albergue operates here, converted from what was once something of a hippie hideaway before being taken over and modernized by a nearby municipality.
The short detour from the camino is clearly marked. It's a peaceful spot in a landscape that can feel overwhelmingly open.
The Road
Don't let the endless wheat worry you. Hontanas stays hidden from view until you're almost on top of it — the village sits in a small depression that's invisible from a distance on the flat meseta.
