    How many left Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port on 1 May?

    As @Kathar1na wrote, in Roncesvalles we had full house (245 beds) every day in that period. To be more specific: as from April 17th until May 11th, and had to send away many, many pilgrims much to our regret. They come from SJPdP, or Orisson, or Borda, or they start in Roncesvalles (like...

    Manjarin: Tomás Martinez de Paz, the last templar

    @Marian Patricia, I know, in fact: we already have this photo. But as we need it for printing, we need photo's of good quality, minimum 2 MB. Internet photo's are not good enough.

    Manjarin: Tomás Martinez de Paz, the last templar

    @dadaperegrino, thank you very much! I will publish the article - translated in English - in this thread as soon as our 'Jacobsstaf' is sent to the members of the Nederlands Genootschap van Sint Jacob (Dutch Confraternity of Saint James). As you are from the Netherlands I suppose you can read...

    Manjarin: Tomás Martinez de Paz, the last templar

    Thank you Annie, I have seen it and I really appreciate it! But I am afraid this photo unfortunately does not meet the requirements for printing (2 MB). So we'll keep on looking....

    Manjarin: Tomás Martinez de Paz, the last templar

    Everybody who has walked the Camino Francés knows the albergue in Manjarin. An albergue for six pilgrims, without water and electricity, but full of hospitality. Tomás Martinez de Paz started this albergue in 1993 in an old, abandoned school in Manjarin. Recently the roof has collapsed, in...

    Spanish pilgrims are approx. 25% of the total of pilgrims who sleep in Roncesvalles.

    Message from the Roncesvalles albergue - a difficult day.

    Reservations are made by all sorts of pilgrims; many, many pilgrims walking from SJPdP, but also pilgrims starting their camino in Roncesvalles (arriving by bus from Pamplona: Spanish pilgrims but also pilgrims from all over the world who came to Pamplona by train, plane, bus), sometimes groups...

    Reservation in SJPP

    This is certainly true, but these beds fill up fast. The last few days they were full at approx. 2.30 / 3 pm. But as Kathar1na stated earlier in this thread, by the end of this week (after Ascension Day) the amount of reservations is going down.

    Message from the Roncesvalles albergue - a difficult day.

    This has changed since May last year. Before that date, we only had one scanner for the passports/ID-cards, so only one pilgrim at a time could be checked-in and this takes a lot of time. Last year a second scanner was installed, so in busy times we now have two check-in desks. Scanning the...

    Message from the Roncesvalles albergue - a difficult day.

    No, the albergue belongs to the Real Colegiata de Santa Maria de Roncesvalles, and the prior is the final decision maker. The volunteers are all member of the 'Nederlands Genootschap van Sint Jacob' (Dutch Confraternity of Saint James), the largest Saint James association in the world (more...

    LIVE from the Camino SJPP TODAY May 2, 2024

    Yes, that is a problem indeed. Older Korean (Japanese, Chinese, Taiwanese) people sometimes do not speak any English. I always try to find a younger Korean/Japanese/Taiwanese pilgrim who speaks English and ask him/her to help and translate. But that is not always possible. I speak a bit Korean...

    LIVE from the Camino SJPP TODAY May 2, 2024

    The language barrier will not be a problem; we Dutchies live in a small country, we speak our languages ;-) Nearly everybody speaks English, lots of us speak German and/or French and/or even Italian, and in every group of hospitaleros at least one of them speaks Spanish.
