    SJPDP annual pilgrim numbers since 1996

    And then there are pilgrims, like me, who pass through the Pilgrim Office in SJPP, but it is the end of my Via Podiensis Camino. While on the VP I also met several French pilgrims who planned to finish their VP in Ronceveaux, which apparently is one of the traditional ends of the VP. That's a...

    "La Memoria de los Ninos"

    Hi - I don't know the particular story behind that cross, but there are several similar memorial markers throughout France. I encountered many of these while walking the Via Podiensis in May and June this year and took photos of many. The full inscription reads generally "In memory of our...

    Medallion from Pilgrim’s Office in St. Jean

    Although I don't have the sheet of instructions any longer, I did send for and receive the medallion. From what I remember, you must photocopy the first page of your Credencial, and the last page, and I think also a scan of your compostela. Send that along with either $10 US; $10 Cdn; or 10...

    Is Camino Frances a Rat Race in April/May?

    From the pre-Camino research I had done, it indicated that April would be a good month to walk, because albergue beds are more available, despite the weather being changeable. I left SJPP March 26, 2019 and reached Santiago April 26, 2019 - I walked with 1 other pilgrim, and we never had any...
