Albergue las Águedas
It is a rural place in a small village with the Saint James Way in the middle of Nature and close to the historical little city of Astorga in León (Spain). But this is a special place because is a family project become real and so special for us and for everyone who visits us. We have the Hostel (Albergue) and besides our Rural House. It is a big place in stone, wood, green and very good energy.
We are in the very Saint James Way and we are used to have volunteers of the Way (pilgrims), but also people who loves nature, little villages, and a relaxed environment who are looking for a personal path inside and a time to release the tensions of the city....and we are always opened to know new nice people from different backgrounds who are not afraid of working and helping other people.

It was my second time volunteering at Las Aguedas, because since the first time, it felt like home. The place is a paradise, and much of that has to do with the people you will find there. Evi and Juan are the kindest, friendliest, and most peaceful people you will ever meet in your life. Every guest who passes through there, even for a night, can agree with me because they never want to leave! The tasks are light and enjoyable to do, there's always music around, everything is in order, and it's flexible at the same time. You become part of the family if you're also good vibes and proactive!

Es un voluntariado muy bonito pero si no vas con ganas y energía definitivamente este no es para tí. Las tareas son variadas: desde la limpieza en gral del albergue, checks in, estar atentos al bar y a cualquier cosa que necesiten l@s peregrin@s hasta servir la cena. Es una muy linda experiencia ya que realizas tareas variadas y conoces gente de muchos países. Más que recomendable 😁 Saludos Juan, Mateo y toda la tropa..... Joder macho, en las Aguedas se está de Put a Madreeee 🤣

I had an amazing time volunteering at Las Aguedas! I helped with reception, housekeeping, and breakfast. Juan, the host, was incredibly generous—he helped me explore nearby sections of El Camino and introduced me to the vibrant, creative community that brings El Camino to life in such a special and wholesome way. The albergue itself is full of history, beauty, and heart, and the team dorm was so comfortable that it truly felt like a second home. Tasks were manageable and naturally varied depending on the number of pilgrims. Overall, a beautiful experience I highly recommend!

I value effective leadership: a positive attitude, skills and knowledge. Prior to my departure, it was noted that an effort was made to accomplish all of the above. Our host/Juan ensured that all of us were healthy, engaged, and clear about our responsibilities.

Me sentí como en casa desde el primer momento. Gracias a Juan y su actitud abierta y acogedora. Él es una persona muy buena y siempre me ha tratado con mucho respeto y amabilidad. Me encantaba trabajar y tener conversaciones de cualquier cosa con él, las tareas eran sencillas y también había suficiente tiempo para relajarse y disfrutar la naturaleza y belleza de este lugar. No puedo describir adecuadamente que majo mi estancia en el albergue era, pero de verdad es una experiencia que solo puedo recomendar a todos. Gracias a todos que estaban allí conmigo, os echaré de menos :)
