statistics

I started from SJPP September 2nd 2017. There were huge numbers walking. The first week or two, lots of alburgues even whole villages got full. There was definitely a bed race and lots of people were booking days ahead. This year I chose to come a little earlier thinking many people wait...

According to statistics gathered by the Pilgrim's Office in Santiago in 2017 they received 301,006 pilgrims of which 180,726 (or 60%) were classed as having come by the Camino Frances. Here are the values gotten through use of their tool at https://oficinadelperegrino.com/en/statistics/ (BTW...

At mid-September it did not look like this year would eclipse the record set last year for September, but numbers have stayed high while they began to decline toward the end of the month in 2016, so I think that 2017 will beat 2016 by a few hundred, and set a new record. It will be more than...

It was a record-setting July. The increase was about 4.4% over 2016. The rolling 12-month increase is under 1%, which is typical (the rolling increase smooths each month's effect). There is no reason to think that the rest of the year will not set records. The male/female split is now 50% after...

For the first semester of 2017, the Pilgrims’ Office in Santiago de Compostela recorded 112.120 arrivals. Compared to the same period in 2016 (101.064) this represents an 11% increase. The trend over the last 5 years has been an average 10 % increase compared to each previous year, except...

Pilgrim arrivals – January to April 2017 Total arrivals for the first quarter of 2017: 35’155 This is an increase of 20% compared to arrivals during the same period in 2016. The mix of locals and foreigners has not changed from last year’s: (45% Spanish, 55% foreigners). However the mix in age...

There were a number of recent threads asking how busy the CF was at present. I was advised in the Pilgrims Office in St Jean this afternoon that they are currently seeing around 240 Pilgrims daily.

... that's often the question! :) Here's the number per month of all the pilgrims who went to the pilgrims's office in SJPdP in 2015. (stats form the pilgrim's office) It means the pilgrims who started there as well as the ones who arrived there. The real numbers may be a little higher...

The number of pilgrims in June 2016 was 3,155 more than last year, and 5,322 more than the Holy Year in 2010. If the two-day average for July holds, July will be about 5,000 more than last year and about 7,000 more than the Holy Year. I suggest adjusting bed-finding strategies accordingly! :)

I think we are all aware that the amount and quality of information on this forum is phenomenal. We probably all have our favourites and perhaps our pet hates but the figures do not lie. Bar chart showing highest number threads + messages for top 23 attached. Del Norte and Le Puy an eye-opener...

I've just been looking at the Stats. from the Pilgrim Office which does show that 2015 will be a record year for numbers of pilgrims commencing their camino along the Coastal Way from Baiona.... which looking at previous years is growing in significance as a point of departure. Any observations...

Pilgrim arrivals registered at the Oficina de Peregrinos in Santiago during August 2015 were 54’795. Those numbers represent a 7% increase compared to the arrivals in August 2014 (51’219). 33’759 Pilgrims walked the Camino Francés during August (65% of all arrivals), 220 less than those during...

Having just been quoted that only 30,000 people start from SJPP I thought it was much higher ?

Hola Greetings from Santiago where today the temperature is 23 degrees and the sun is shining! We've been so busy I am later than usual reporting the cumulative figures. I'm sorry. It appeared in the first couple of months of the 2014 that due to persistent bad weather numbers the number of...

All statistical information can be found on www.peregrinossantiago.es January to April 2014 arrivals at Santiago de Compostela Pilgrims’ Office During this year’s first 4months, 22’354 people registered at the Camino pilgrims’ office in Santiago de Compostela. This represents an overall...

I had read that in any given year, only 15% of those that embark on the Pilgrimage actually complete it. Or at least that only 15% receive a Compostela. That seems like a very low figure, so I am curious to know if there is a place that I might get these figures. I have seen in the forum...

If you are planning your pilgrimage to Santiago, you may find it interesting to read some of the pilgrim statistics that are compiled each year. You will find the official statistics compiled by the pilgrim’s office in Santiago de Compostela. http://www.archicompostela.org/Peregrin ...
