    Pilgrim office statistics page - new format and filter tools

    A note for the terminally nerdy like myself. I just went to the pilgrim office website to look up some figures from 2019 and discovered that the statistics pages have been radically redesigned. A new format and many new search filters. Including running totals to date for the year.

    Records Maintained in Pilgrim Office

    Does anyone have information on what records may be maintained in Santiago’s Pilgrim Office? Can one find information on ancestors or relatives that may have walked the Camino? Are these records kept electronically and available in the pilgrim’s office / library?
