    From just before Burgos - 47 friggin kms to find a bed!!!

    Out of curiosity, I looked up Hornillos del Camino, a focal point here :cool:. Poor little Hornillos. Unless I did not look carefully enough, it is a village of some 54 inhabitants (2023 - ES Wikipedia) or still 70 inhabitants in 2004 according to a census, with five establishments for...

    From just before Burgos - 47 friggin kms to find a bed!!!

    I have no idea where you are from but if I were to arrive in your town/city/village say one afternoon and I found no accommodation for that night, would it be alright for me to blame ‘the authorities’??? And which ‘authorities’ would that be? I hope you are rested now. Buen camino 🙂

    Meseta

    Where would you suggest to walk to until you get a bus or train on to Leon...I am short of time and it will be very hot when I go (July) but I would like to have at least a taste of the Meseta

    From just before Burgos - 47 friggin kms to find a bed!!!

    ...Given most people stop in Burgos, either just overnight or for a rest day, it also creates affects the day after, especially as Hornillos is a nice 20km from Burgos which is doable for most pilgrims - but Hontanas at over 30km from Burgos is a stretch for many. Unlike Leon, another popular...

    From just before Burgos - 47 friggin kms to find a bed!!!

    You are tired and have overcome a personal challenge, but please don't spoil your achievement by overplaying your hand! You are correct that personal responsibility is the default. Coping with uncertainty and managing some discomfort are part of the experience of camino, though there are...

    From just before Burgos - 47 friggin kms to find a bed!!!

    ...esp amongst non-Spanish speakers, getting a taxi forwards or backwards would have been welcome by the many people scratching their heads in Hornillos del Camino, wondering what to do. Perhaps info boards in Burgos clearly stating that the next free beds were in Hontanos etc - this was a...

    Pacemaker Implant Surgery Tomorrow. A New Phase for Future Caminos.

    ...early Feb and will be walking a stage of the Camino in 4 weeks time. We were persuaded to accompany some friends last year on the leg from Hornillos to Leon and fell in love with it, so are returning to start from the beginning and walk to Logrono. We aim to complete it in stages over the...

    Theft of charity box Casa del Sol a Sol

    Last night we stayed in Casa del Sol a Sol in Hornillos del Camino. The owner could not have been more accommodating and told us that the front door is open 24 hours a day. When we came down for breakfast this morning he told us that someone had stolen a charity tin from the dining/lounge area...

    Message from the Roncesvalles albergue - a difficult day.

    Another update - hornillos was very busy and multiple people couldn’t find any beds and were sent onwards. The next stop down also didn’t have beds so I don’t know where they ended up finding spaces. After running to get a bed today I’ve actually made the decision to hike and travel tomorrow...

    Stomach Bug on Meseta

    Interesting! We were in Hontanas September 28, 2018, Carrion Sept. 29, and then 5 of 6 got sick and barely made it to Ledigos. We were never able to pinpoint what the problem could have been, but there's a lot of smoke for there to be no fire there (IMO). Feel better!

    Stomach Bug on Meseta

    I was very sick in Belorado. Thought it was food poisoning but now think it’s a bug as taking a while to recover. Have met about 15 others who have had similar, from Santa Domingo to Hornillos where I am now - and heard of many others.

    Stomach Bug on Meseta

    It comes and goes in that area of the Meseta, I seen it mentioned too many times over the years by various newbies to dismiss it as coincidence or posters attributing their ill health to something they have heard before about an area.

    Stomach Bug on Meseta

    ...hospital with half the occupants severely sick. We worked out that only those who stopped at Hontanas were affected. None of those who did Hornillos-CastroJeriz had symptoms. This has been raised and discussed previously on the forum more than once - so I'm surprised the regulars who have...

    LIVE from the Camino Current big wave at beginning of Francés

    We're in Boadilla del Camino right now. Turned away at Hornillos Minicipal at 1230h 2 days ago, along with at least 30 others behind us, and taxied back to Rabé as Hontanos was also full. Several big groups on the Camino right now and we seem to be walking "with" them. A bit worried about...

    Taxi? Can they find us in the middle of nowhere?

    I did Roncesvalles to Pamplona in one hump in 2003 because of a bed shortage in Zubiri/closed refugio at Larrasoaña. Back then catching a taxi was considered cheating so I plodded on and on and on and arrived at the outskirts of Pamplona at 9pm. Next day I staggered across the city to Cizur...

    Taxi? Can they find us in the middle of nowhere?

    ...up hiking all the way to Pamplona to get a bed. The lack of beds can continue for days. I recall one CF that pilgrims arriving at 1 pm in Hornillos del camino, but the entire town was "completo". Many pilgrims divided into small groups and ordered taxis they could ride together (and share...
