The Camino romantically passes under one of the monastery’s half-crumbled arches. In the Middle Ages, this site contained a sheltered porch area where pilgrims who arrived after the monastery gates had been locked for the night could find a protected place to sleep. There, the monks also left food and drink in two stone niches set within the wall.

Founded in 1146 by the French order of Antonines, followers of Saint Anthony of Egypt, the present ruins of the monastery of San Antón Abad stand alone in the nook of a small ravine, mostly to the left of the Camino. Largely Gothic and from the 14th century, the monastery existed in service to pilgrims as a hospital.
