Hontanas

The spring that gives this arroyo (creek) its name, also cures your feet. The operations of the albergue here were passed to a nearby municipality, who electrified and modernized this former hippy hideaway. 

The small deviation from the camino that takes you there is worth the shade and rejuvenating spring it provides.

The Road

Do not let the endless expanses of wheat worry you. Hontanas remains out of site until you are quite close, it is hiding in a small depression in an otherwise flat landscape.

Camino de Sant… (not verified)

16 years ago I was here also; a filthy hippy-place with running mouses and a dark spiritual atmosphere. What a complete difference and great makeover I saw 16oct.! Nice friendly couple running the place during the weekend. I was very much tempted to stay, but it was far too early to do so... Highly recommended!

Instead of marching head down to reach somewhere, make this short detour.
The spring and pool is clean and cool
Shady, grassy and welcoming
