Great news that is finally opening, but too bad they used a photo of pilgrims in Santiago instead in Canfranc Estacion!

And the article mentions its objective to promote the Via Tolosana. I’m surprised the combined route has so few pilgrims. In some ways that’s part of the appeal but will be wonderful if increased numbers will deliver benefits to the local communities.

Great !!

I've been hearing about these various Canfranc Camino projects and proposed improvements for years, and it's lovely to hear when some of them go live !!

A news website reporting on the opening of the office. With comments from some of those involved including @Rebekah Scott .

▷ Nueva Oficina de Atención al Peregrino en Canfranc

El objetivo es que los peregrinos se sientan acogidos y tengan toda la información para realizar la ruta jacobea con seguridad y calidad, y conozcan los servicios disponibles. Y que de esta manera, se incremente la afluencia de peregrinos durante todo el año.

The drive to boost pilgrim numbers and public awareness of the Aragonese route has been somewhat undermined by the route's omission from the outline map of the main Caminos on the latest version of the Santiago cathedral's official credencial. Not surprisingly the local Amigos and public authorities are not pleased and are demanding the new credencials be withdrawn and replaced!
