We have these discussions over and over. Recently, I was thinking what an odd information policy there is about this. The owner of Borda pointed out, as mentioned and as widely known, that "only the Spanish government in Navarra decides whether or not to open the path". They publish every year an announcement about the official closure from 1 November to 31 March which means that there is a legal prohibition to walk on this specific path over the Pyrennees.
I cannot find anything official about any extension of this legal closure beyond 31 March. I looked at the Twitter feeds of the Navarra Bomberos (@bomberos_na), the Navarra Guardia Civil (@NavarraGC), the Navarra police (@policiaforal_na), 112 Sos Navarra (@112_na) and the government of Navarra (@gob_na) - not a word.
The Guardia Civil Navarra posted a tweet on 1 April about "precautions for the
Camino de Santiago in wintery conditions" that merely reminds pilgrims to pay attention to the weather conditions and to be aware of the limits of one's physical conditions when one is not used to such weather and environment and exertion but there is nothing about closed paths.
All there is is word of mouth on social media. There is certainly room for improvement. Not everybody even knows about a pilgrim office in SJPP. There is also never any announcement on websites or similar about the condition of the path at this time of the year - another crucial factor. Again, only available if you hear it from someone else or go to the pilgrim welcome office although they do have a website in addition to their FB group. The condition of the path is like a mystery or a well kept secret.
Just sayin', as they say.
