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.
Today, the pelegríns have become a decorative and symbolic element along the Camino Frances. Some pilgrims dress them in clothes and hats, and even leave messages or small objects as offerings. These figures have become an iconic element of the path and are considered a way of signaling and guiding walkers.
The pilgrims can vary in their appearance and style, but their presence along the Camino de Santiago adds a special and traditional touch to the experience of the pilgrims who travel this ancient route.
