På højre side af hovedvejen ligger et par barer, der serverer mad til en blanding af pilgrimme og langturschauffører, og Meson Alba er den mest autentiske af de to. Travlheden på vejen kan få Villafranca til at føles en smule trang, så for at undslippe det skal man tage til Albergue San Anton Abad, hvor den store have og bar/restaurant hurtigt vil få dig til at tænke på noget bedre.

Notice

Fra Villafranca er der 12 km camino uden vandforsyning.

Fiesta

San Antón fejres den 17. januar, og der afholdes en Romería til Ermita de Oca den anden søndag i august.

The Road

Villafranca Montes de Oca, opkaldt efter de brændenældefyldte bjerge mod vest, ligger ved foden af Pedraja-passet. Hvis du har vænnet dig til de blidt bølgende bakker bag dig, skal du forberede dig på en stigning. Mellem her og San Juan de Ortega ligger 12 km vandring uden springvand. Det er dog en smuk skov fuld af blomster, udsigter og endemiske egetræer.

Der er ingen butikker i San Juan, men der er nu to barer, der serverer mad. Pak din oppakning derefter. Hvis du vil følge caminoen, skal du dreje til højre op ad bakken mod kirken.

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
