Numbers of Pilgrims on the Coastal Camino are increasing

[DoughnutANZ]

A graph showing numbers and trends by month of Compostelas issued for Pilgrims on the Portuguese Coastal Camino (as defined by the Pilgrim Office).

Keep in mind that the data is by month of arrival in Santiago de Compostela.

The number of Pilgrims have been increasing quite markedly, year-on-year since 2016 and this year June and July have become the most popular months on the data to date. It could well be that this year's August and September Pilgrims increase even more. Perhaps something to think about if you are planning to walk the Coastal route this August/September.

Planning for next year, so this is very helpful.

Thanks for the info.

We are a group of 6 planning to walk from Porto on the 17th May. If the figures for May stay about the same I think we will be OK for accommodation.
