The Road

The camino turns right and into Villavante, though some old yellow arrows continue straight ahead (painted on the elevated irrigation canal). The reason for the detour around town is to avoid a surface crossing of the dangerous rail lines at the edge of town. The distance added is worth the elevated crossing, as the trains pass deceptively fast.

One of the best accommodations I’ve had on the entire Camino. Mercedes is a wonderful host and cook. Felt like a 5 star hotel, definitely highly recommended!

This app and others indicate it is about 28km but our smart watches etc indicated it was more like 32km.

On the far side of Villavante, this is a wonderful old water mill. We were welcomed with a cold beer and snacks. It is so homely and rustic. The home-cooked evening meal and breakfast were filling and tasty. Mercedes is a great host.

Walked through Villavante at 10am (hoping for a coffee/breakfast) and everything was closed. Looks closed down for winter.

We stayed at this albergue because we were too tired and didn’t want to continue to Hospital de Obirgo. Albergue was very clean and the lady at reception was very polite and friendly.

This place only survives as it’s the only place in town and it’s geographically a good distance from León for a day’s walk. Don’t stay here. Owner is unfriendly and food isn’t great. Leaving all my reviews at the end of my trip so know full well all the other places I stayed were better as from villavante on I researched and checked reviews on here and elsewhere

This alternative route is away from the main road but is long flat straight and a bit boring?! I had a welcome break here. Breakfast, fresh orange juice and a friendly smile from everyone I met.

There was literally nothing open in this town, not a single person there. At least there’s a water tap with drinking water.

I just passed through at 12 noon and there was nothing open. The fountain is flowing happily though.
