Hornillos del Camino

Hornillos del Camino is a small village with a rich history dating back to the Middle Ages. It was founded in the 9th century and gained importance during the 11th and 12th centuries due to its strategic location on the Camino de Santiago. The village was granted a royal charter by King Alfonso VI of León and Castile in 1085, which allowed it to hold a weekly market and an annual fair, attracting merchants and pilgrims alike. The Church of San Román, built in the 12th century, is a notable historical landmark in Hornillos del Camino. It features a Romanesque architectural style and houses a beautiful 16th-century altarpiece. The village also has several traditional houses that showcase the typical Castilian architecture of the region. As a resting point for pilgrims, Hornillos del Camino has maintained its hospitable atmosphere, offering accommodations and services for those walking the Camino de Santiago.
