Quando entrerete in questo paese dalla strada principale noterete sulla destra un paio di bar che servono del cibo a un misto di pellegrini e camionisti; la Meson Alba, tra i due, è la bettola più autentica.

Attenzione

State estremamente attenti al traffico qui. Gli edifici affollano la strada e vi obbligano a condividere la carreggiata con grossi camion che viaggiano a velocità elevata.

Il cammino

Villafranca Montes de Oca, chiamata così per le montagne piene di ortiche appena ad ovest, si trova ai piedi del passo Pedraja. Se vi siete abituati ai dolci pendii collinari percorsi finora, allacciatevi le cinture e preparatevi a una brusca salita. Tra qui e San Juan de Ortega ci sono 12km di camminata monotona e senza fonti d’acqua. A San Juan non ci sono negozi, ma c’è un bar con del cibo. Regolatevi di conseguenza. Per seguire il cammino girate a destra, in salita, verso la chiesa.

Christina was charming and so helpful...she and her family have been supporting pilgrims for generations. Her grandfather and parents and now her, sister, and other family members are running the next door restaurant and the Casa. Definitely recommend!

A beautiful place with a patio to sit outside and enjoy the garden. The restaurant is part of the attached hotel with good quality food. Clean, spacious and my room even had the luxury of single beds with privacy walls.

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.
