Take the opportunity to have a coffee in the bar in front and seal your book here. The Pelegrins are a tradition known as "pelegrín", which is found in some milestones of the French Way of Santiago in Spain. These pelegríns are figures made of old clothes, stuffed with straw or other materials, and placed on posts or crossroads along the way.

The tradition of the pelegríns dates back centuries, when pilgrims walked the Camino de Santiago. These figures were believed to scare away birds and ward off evil spirits, thus protecting travelers on their way to Santiago de Compostela.
