The ruins of the Convento de San Antón are one of the meseta's finest surprises. The remains of the monastery arch over the camino itself, and you walk through what was once a grand pilgrim hospital. The Antonine monks who ran the order specialized in treating ergotism — a disease caused by contaminated grain that was common in medieval Europe. They wore a distinctive Tau cross, which you'll see carved into the stonework.
The ruins are atmospheric and photogenic. A small albergue has been established in the remaining structures, offering a donativo bed in a genuinely historic setting. Even if you're not staying, pause here — the combination of the arch, the ruined walls, and the open meseta beyond makes this one of the most memorable spots on the Francés.
