Pilgrim Insight

Albergue El Pajar de Agés is a fine choice for a restful stop part-way through one of the more transitional stages of the Camino Francés—just past the medieval village of San Juan de Ortega and edging toward Burgos. Its comfortable and modern-upgraded facilities give you more than the bare minimum while preserving that pilgrim-friendly, low-key atmosphere.

**What pilgrims like:** The central village location means you arrive early enough to settle in, laundry and bike storage are reliable, and the mix of dorms and private rooms offers flexibility. The recent management refresh has added attentiveness and polish.

**Things to watch for:** Because capacity is mid-sized and it’s well-reviewed, it fills fast during busier seasons—so if you’re walking in peak months, booking ahead is wise. Also, while access is improved, the building’s age and layout mean if you have mobility needs you may want to confirm specifics ahead of time.

In short: for pilgrims seeking comfort without losing the Camino spirit, this albergue hits a strong sweet spot. Buen Camino!
