To leave Hornillos by the way, is to ascend to a new bleak plateau with the cereal fields that surround at the pilgrim. It will be easy to listen the song of the quail in spring or the one of the perdiz (bird) during the year. After crossing the plateau and from a new reduction it is arrived at San Bol, enigmatic refuge, that it is separated about 150 meters of the way.

To follow the way is to follow in straight line, ascending, once again, to another flat terrain with another passage and a new reduction to reach Hontanas.

From Hontanas the pilgrim can choose between two parallel alternatives and separated by few meters within the same valley, one by a dirt road that runs by the margin right or by the highway of little circulation and dressed by old trees.

Both ways lead directly to a magical place: the ruins of the old convent of San Antón, the way pass below their arcs, following the same highway, separates the old monastery of the following population that is Castrojeriz.

Ruins of San Antón. The old convent of San Antón, it is not a population and of course it lacks all service. It is not more than an assembly of ruins of a gothic temple of century XIV.

The situation is lamentable because they are possible badly to be visited, since the farmers, in a show of "hospitality" they have put in the doors dogs that are very dangerous.

The Order of the Antonianos, that is to that belonged this convent, was founded on year 1,095, and it extended by all Europe, arriving to have up to 397 hospitals. Their monks reached the great prestige; because of them it said that they cured a disease of gangrenous type, caused by cornezuelo of the rye that began by the extremities as if leprosy it was. The plague of the European continent was a little during centuries X and XI essentially. This disease was well known like "The fire of San Antón". The danger of this infect caused that most of these convents hospital, they were constructed outside the urban nuclei and some of them were located in the Way to be able to exert the charity towards the pilgrim, still today are possible to be seen two cupboards where the monks left food for those travelling ones which they passed at night.

Certain practices and experiments that began to make the monks with the pilgrims affected by the disease of cornezuelo, which before we have indicated, like amputations of members and that were discovered and denounced by a French monk in peregrination to Santiago, could be the reason by which, the monarch of the time decreed the suppression of the community in 1.791.
