Thanks so much for your message. I have a good feeling about El Molino. I don't have time limits & no flight booked. xoAngela,
I'm going out on a limb here but I'm going to offer a different perspective.
Unless you are on a strict time schedule, e.g. You have to be at the airport on a specific day in the near future, then why not go to El Molino on a whim and see if it matches your interests.
Personally, I always found something to appreciate about places I wandered off to. Sometimes it was just getting off the beaten path for a day.
Efforts to optimize my Camino experience always seemed to leave me with a feeling of "But what if I had chosen option B?"
All that said, I don't know your circumstances or time schedule so take this advice with a shaker if salt (and a margarita of course!)
Buen Camino,

I'm confused I tried to book but they said no because I was on my own. Is that correct?
I don't speak any Spanish unfortunately.
You might try the Casa Rural "de sol a sol" in Hornillos. Telephone number is in the 2017 Brierley Guide for the CF. Buen Camino, CTThe hotel called & they won't take a booking for a single person. All good. Will stay elsewhere in Hornillos. Do you know a good private albergue as I understand the municiple is 'crammed'.
Hi again, you sent the above message while I was composing my first response so I did not see this one before sending it. It could be that they have some groups there now -- they did appear to cater to couples or small groups when I was there.The hotel called & they won't take a booking for a single person. All good.

Maybe the Camino is telling you to continue on to San BolOr perhaps the Camino is trying to tell you that is is not the place for you to be at this time?
Buen Camino, SY
I had the opportunity to stay at the Sol a Sol where the owner speaks perfect english -- he also owns El Molino which I believe his dad hosts. Either place is great... I slept at Sol a Sol but - the guy gave me a lift and dropped others off at the Molino and... wow. I wanted to cry and die right there.... it was absolute PARADISE. As I thought it, he turned to me and said, "Isn't this paradise?" It was a crazy moment. If you have a chance at Sol a Sol, you'll see an autographed poster... there is an amazing story behind it and I am not sure if he wants it public or not but... ask him about the posterIs El Molino worth the extra time it takes for them to pick you up & drop you back in Hornillos next morning? I've been told by friends that I shouldn't miss it. Anyone else experienced it recently? Thanks
