Description
Moratinos is a small, traditional Spanish village situated on the Camino de Frances. The village has a rich history dating back to the 10th century, when it was known as "Moratinos de los Templarios" due to its association with the Knights Templar. The Templars were a medieval Christian military order that played a significant role in protecting pilgrims traveling to Santiago de Compostela. The village is characterized by its unique underground cave dwellings, known as "bodegas," which were originally used for storing wine and food. These bodegas have been restored and are now used as accommodations for pilgrims. Moratinos also features the Church of San Esteban, a 16th-century structure that has been renovated over the years, preserving its historical charm. The village offers a glimpse into the past and provides a tranquil setting for pilgrims to rest and reflect on their journey.
