Ruinas del Monasterio de San Antón

Great experience. Loved praying at the altar with iron crucifix. Would have stayed had it been a little further on the road. Too short a distance for my trip that day. They have a telescope for stargazing at night. It's very dark here so I imagine it would be excellent.

Iconic albergue on the Camino a few minutes walk before Castrojeriz. Volunteers are running the place. These are ruins of an old monastery. Very special place and the volunteers are so friendly. If you are a pilgrim used to a certain comfort, please know that the place has no running hot water. I truly recommend this albergue, and please be generous with the donations so the unique albergue can continue to exist.

It looks great. Pity I couldn’t stay there on 21.01 probably because volunteers were away for some local celebrations. I’ve just seen barking doggies 😂 hopefully you’ll be luckier than me as this place is opened for pilgrims in winter as well

Limitless stars in the sky here. Rich history at the monastery, and the limited facilities at this albergue attract a certain type of pilgrim (the kind I'm most excited to interact with). If you're ready to stay somewhere without access to electricity or hot water, come here and enjoy dinner by candlelight 🕯

A beautiful place to spend some quiet, contemplative time. Now an albergue for pilgrims and a snack and gift bar relying on donations.

In the past this beautiful place of healing would have ministered to people suffering from St Anthony's Fire, a disease brought about by eating infected grain. One cure was good food and plenty of wine to perfuse the skin.

Built in the 14th century and now being lovingly cared for, I would recommend a stop here on the Camino Frances or if visiting the area.

Managed by the Franciscan missionaries, the church provides the stamp amd albergue for pilgrims to Santiago.

Lovely setting. I just passed through, didn't stay in the albergue, but I also hear it is great

This is a stunning place, circled with the ruins of an ancient monastery of Saint Anthony. It's a really astonishing place, full of charm and truly surprising for the atmosphere it gives off. The structure is very simple, as nowadays it's basically just a circle of ruins around the Camino de Santiago pathway. But also this, the fact that you have to go through it, evokes strong emotions!

Beautiful landmark with refreshments benches and much needed shade

amazing albergue, they have special beds for sleeping outside. if there is a clear sky the constellations are very beauriful.
you don't have hot water, which is not a problem during summer

The cross with Jesus is a very powerful, moving sculpture.

Old ruines of a monastery. They have benches insidethe ruines and serve coffee and tea donativo.

A wonderful experience with no electricity or hot water. The volunteer hosts were the most!

Just amazing. Beautiful to walk around here.

Beautiful place. Calm and perfect for contemplation.

A truly special place and worth the stop for contemplation.

Beautiful,
Albergue on site

Sitio 100% recomendable si pasas por la zona, ya que lo han convertido en un hospital de peregrinos, el cual se sitúa en una zona tranquila donde reponer las pilas después de una dura caminata y admirar un antiguo monasterio. Los dueños del lugar son muy amables ya que me dejaron sobrevolar el dron para hacer estas fotos.

Uma relíquia no sentido amplo do Caminho de Santiago Francês.
Um "hospital" significativo e belo do caminho.

Reste impressionnante d'une abbaye. Située sur le chemin de Saint Jacque de Compostelle, c'est un arrêt incontournable. Possibilité de faire tamponner la crédentiale, et même d'y dormir (Albergue pour pèlerin, mais pensez à réserver ! peu de place !)
Annecdote : ici il soignait les gens malades de l'ergot du seigle. Pour les cas pas trop important, un repos et des repas sain leurs permettaient de se soigner. Pour les cas plus grave, des amputations avait lieu. Une pierre sur l'extérieur de l'abbaye existe encore. Les malade mettaient leurs bras sur cette pierre qui rentrait dans la muraille, et de l'intérieur, leurs bras était coupé.
