Pilgrim Insight
Albergue Puerta de Nájera is one of the most praised stops on this stretch of the Camino Francés. Maite is singled out in review after review for her warm, attentive welcome. Moreover, the clean facilities, great location, and riverside setting make it a natural choice for pilgrims arriving in Nájera after a long stage from Logroño. The albergue also offers tourist apartments overlooking the river — a worthwhile upgrade for couples or small groups.
Note: the albergue sits on the right immediately after crossing the Najerilla bridge — it is impossible to miss. Additionally, advance booking is recommended in summer, as the private rooms fill quickly on the Way of St. James.
