San Anton
San Antón is a small locality known for its picturesque ruins of a 14th-century monastery, the Convento de San Antón. The monastery was established by the Antonine Order, a religious order dedicated to the care of pilgrims and the sick, particularly those suffering from St. Anthony's Fire, a skin disease caused by a fungus found in rye. The monastery served as a hospital and a refuge for pilgrims traveling the Camino de Santiago during the Middle Ages. The ruins of the Convento de San Antón are a striking sight, with the remaining arches of the monastery stretching over the Camino path itself, creating a unique and memorable experience for modern-day pilgrims. The site also features a small chapel and a pilgrim's albergue, allowing travelers to rest and reflect on the historical significance of this once-thriving religious center.
