Hornillos del Camino

Hornillos del Camino is the very embodiment of the Castilian landscape on the Camino Francés. This Burgos village is laid out along its calle Real, a feature typical of the towns that grew to the rhythm of the pilgrimage. Surrounded by a sea of grain fields, Hornillos immerses the walker completely in the vastness and silence of the meseta. Its traditional architecture, with houses of stone and adobe, and its Gothic church of San Román evoke a past of pilgrim hospitality that endures to this day. For the pilgrim, this stop is a moment for introspection and rest, a refuge from the sun and the wind, and a chance to connect with the most austere and spiritual face of the Camino de Santiago.
