The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
Hi Allan. You forget New Year Eve (Noche Vieja)

I'm sorry.... I wish to throw in my two red cents. Xmas means nothing to me. CHRISTmas does. Meaning Christ does NOT equal X. Yes, am planning to be there too (hopefully) and if St. James decides I ought to be there.... I certainly will

I edited my message.
Being Jewish I am not that familiar with these religiouse dates especially in Spain.
Shall I plan to arrive on December 30th or January 5th?
