[QUOTE="JabbaPapa, post: 778766, member: 195"] I can only agree in principle -- as my first time there in 2005, I walked from home to Lourdes then on from Lourdes to Compostela (via SJPP). Having said that, any pilgrimage to Lourdes is fine by whatever means, and whilst [U][I]walking[/I][/U] there is meaningful to us Santiago Pilgrims, it's not a necessary at all for that particular Pilgrimage. It's fine either way. BUT -- doing that **is** excellent from a Compostela pilgrimage point of view, as Lourdes has been part of the Piémont Way since long before the Apparitions, and in fact it was part of the Navarrese/Basque Way to [B]Rome[/B] since before the tomb of St James was ever discovered -- Lourdes has a long and storied tradition of Pilgrimage dating back to the earliest centuries of Christianity. It is a powerful crossroads of three Major Pilgrim Ways, including Lourdes itself, or four if you add Jerusalem. [/QUOTE]
