      Wow, 59 pilgrims between Gijón and Villaviciosa is quite a lot, I would say. Considering that the vast majority you met had already walked past the Camino Primitivo junction. I don't know when on the next stage you plan to head for the coast...

      Second Day: Now in Gijon The weather was much better today! I took my time in the morning because I wanted to get the stamps from the Tourist Information (opens 10am, rather ugly) and the Centro Niermayer (opens 10.30am, wonderful stamp)...

      First day: Now in Aviles I had imagined it would be so nice, fresh off the plane and straight onto the camino in glorious weather. But when I left Asturias airport at 1pm today, I was greeted by pouring rain. So I had to put on my rain poncho...

      Luka reacted to J Willhaus's post in the thread Re: Current Lunch Prices with Haha Haha.
      A short story about siesta from my first Camino: I was staying at Corazon Puro at Bizkarreta (before Zubiri) in a lovely place run by a pilgrim couple from Hungary (sadly, now it is closed or at least changed hands, I am not sure which). I had...

      I have started out a bit a-typical... My first Camino was the Via Monastica in Belgium in 2011. Then in 2012 I walked for 4 weeks in Northern France. I recall my arrival to Vézelay really well. There was a real accueill pélerin with even a...

      Very unusual to have more than 3,000 at this time of year. More likely in July, August and September. From the solviturambulando website. Shows last year's daily arrival figures in dark red and the 2022 figures as pale pink for comparison.

      It sounds like a lot, but it is it also a lot compared to earlier years?

      The Santiago pilgrim office issued 3,171 Compostelas today. The second time so far this year when the total has been over 3,000. The first was on Good Friday when 3,193 Compostelas were handed out.

      From a purely practical standpoint another factor is that walking a Camino now is physically far easier than it used to be. Vastly improved infrastructure of albergues, hostals, bars and so on. So stages now can be shorter and there is less to...

      Odd. When I do the same the result is an increase of 15% for that 4 month period. Which is roughly in line with the specific figures for those recorded as starting from SJPDP and Roncesvalles. Last year the arrivals statistics for January...
