Wise Pilgrim APPNava de Ordunte is a small village with a bar and restaurant. More importantly, it's home to Adolfo, who has been promoting the Camino Olvidado for years and is extremely helpful to pilgrims. His garage has been converted into an informal albergue — it isn't officially licensed, so a generous donation helps toward getting it regularized.
From Nava de Ordunte, a shorter marked route bypasses the village and heads directly to Villasana de Mena, about 7 km further.
From Nava de Ordunte, it's 33 km to Espinosa de los Monteros. From Villasana de Mena, it's 28 km. The two branches join at the Taranco chapel outside Ordejon de Mena. If you leave directly from Villasana, you'll miss the reservoir, which is pretty and shaded but not something to rework your schedule around.
