À droite de la route principale, en entrant, se trouvent deux bars qui servent de la nourriture à un mélange de pèlerins et de routiers, le Meson Alba étant le plongeon le plus authentique des deux. L'agitation de la route peut donner à Villafranca l'impression d'être un peu à l'étroit, pour y échapper, rendez-vous à l'Albergue San Anton Abad où le grand jardin et le bar/restaurant vous emmèneront rapidement dans un endroit plus agréable.

Notice

A partir de Villafranca, il y a 12 km de camino sans point d'eau.

Fiesta

San Antón est célébré le 17 janvier, et une Romería à la Ermita de Oca a lieu le deuxième dimanche d'août.

The Road

Villafranca Montes de Oca, qui doit son nom aux montagnes pleines d'orties à l'ouest, se trouve au pied du col de Pedraja. Si tu t'es habitué aux douces collines qui se trouvent derrière toi, prépare-toi à grimper. Entre ici et San Juan de Ortega s'étendent 12 km de randonnée sans fontaine. Il s'agit cependant d'une belle forêt pleine de fleurs, de points de vue et de chênes endémiques.

Il n'y a pas de magasins à San Juan, mais il y a maintenant deux bars qui servent de la nourriture. Prépare tes affaires en conséquence. Pour suivre le camino, tourne à droite en montant vers l'église.

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
