Hornillos es uno de los mejores ejemplos de un camino "Royal": en este caso, una calle larga (la acertadamente llamada calle real) se extendía a lo largo del camino. Este diseño permitió que cada edificio se enfrentara al camino, un rasgo que nos recuerda que el pesado desarrollo actual a lo largo del camino es cualquier cosa menos un fenómeno nuevo. La ciudad perteneció una vez al monasterio de St. Denis y fue el hogar de una comunidad benedictina.

El folclore también coloca aquí a Carlomagno, horneando pan para sus tropas a lo largo del río.

Las ruinas y los puentes medievales son los únicos restos visibles.

September 2025 the church was closed. No mass or benediction for pilgrims. Could not even go inside. The view from the benches in front was beautiful though.

Aura Jacobea is on the left as you go into town. It looks very new and is spotlessly clean. Perfect for private room 40 EUR laundry available for 5 EUR and dinner for 15 EUR and breakfast for 4 EUR. Highly recommend.

Had great meal here last week. The best beef stew I’ve had in ages. We arrived at 6pm and there was already a queue. We were lucky enough to get the last table for that sitting
Friendly and efficient service from the waitress.

Quiet and beautiful town. Hornillos does have running water just outside of the church. In addition, Origen is closed and is under construction.

There was nothing open in Hornillos, so stock up on food and water in Burgos or Tardajos before travelling through to Hontanas.

Ordered vegetarian meal and served chicken paella.
Grumpy cook said he wasn't told.
Dished up a plain Omelette which was ok. Grateful for wine though
Best to go to a bar in town as they are all good
It's a pretty village

Not so busy but cramped and full room
Why not spread us out?
Clean

Lovely place, big garden in this charming village. A free help-yourself-breakfast is also provided (bread, ham, cheese, jam, coffee, tea, orange juice).

The woman running seems very efficient but don't get on the wrong side of her, as I did after a genuine misunderstanding. As a result, my stay here was completely spoiled. It is the one place on the camino which holds a bad memory for me.

Others mentioned this bar also , and we can only say thank you . We found it as we walked through and on entering a scented candle was burning in the entry way . Warm and so welcoming , it was 10 am and we had walked 10 kms in the cold rain . I asked what they could offer us to eat and on hearing lentils we were both sold . And oh my goodness, a bowl of deliciousness . So friendly and kind , good coffee and Alan asked was 10 am too early for a Guinness as they have it on tap . Best breakfast we have had since leaving Saint Jean Pied de Port . Because it was the second cafe it possibly gets missed , but plenty of room in this one .
