There is a pilgrim mass and benediction every day at 18:00. Hornillos is one of the best examples of a “Royal” camino road: in this case one long street (the aptly named calle real) stretched out along the camino. This layout allowed every building to face the camino, a trait which reminds us that the current heavy development along the camino is anything but a new phenomenon. The town once belonged to the monastery of St. Denis and was home to a Benedictine community.

Folklore places Charlemagne here too, baking bread for his troops along the river.

Ruins and medieval bridges are the only visible remains.

Camino de Sant…

Cafe on left as you come into town - nicest man ever and the hugest crunchy roll I’ve ever eaten. Well worth a stop

Camino de Sant…

The restaurant and albergue is new having opened less than a year ago. The beautiful sounds of relaxing music will draw you up the short walkway to both indoor and outdoor seating, bathrooms and delicious food. It is definitely an oasis. Don't miss it!

Camino de Sant…

Don’t make the mistake of not filling up water. No services (or shade) until Hontanas

Please make the effort to walk to the end of the village to experience this fantastic place for lunch and/or dinner. Live music, unique vibe, great food and super friendly owner.

We had a wonderful meal with our Camino family. The proprietor is a kind gracious man. It is at the end of the town as you are walking out- this is a true gem in this small town!

There's a small convenience store that sells fruit and makes cheese or chorizo sandwiches. Has foot aid supplies, snacks, cold drinks, among a few other things. The male owner was very lively and friendly. They were open till 6:00 p.m. on the Friday we visited town. It is right across from Sol De a Sol hostel and shows up on Google maps.

I stayed at Casa de la Abuelo, which was clean and quiet. That evening, I went looking for a meal and wound up at Origen at the west end of town. Great food, lively energy, a lot of fun.

I needed a rest and splurged on a private room with en suite bathroom and shower (35 euros). Lovely!

I hurt my leg and stopped by the shop. The owner really took good care of me. He brought me tissues, helped me to clean the wounds. He even brought me a bottle of ice to prevent the swelling.
He really is one of those Camino Angels

At the far end of town there is a new bar called Origen. The owner is super friendly. There is a fireplace to dry your clothes. Great place to stop. The food looks good but I didn’t have any
