447,704 and still counting!

[Bradypus]

When the Santiago pilgrim office opened this morning the running total of Compostelas issued for this year stood at 445,807. Today they handed out another 1,897. Making the new total for the year to date 447,704. More than were issued in the whole of 2023 (446,078) which was itself a new record year. And there are still nearly 3 months left of this year.

Blessing or curse?

A bit of both.

Yes, it looks likely to exceed 500,000 before the end of the year. A lot of talk about it today..

I think Kurtz may have summarised the situation though in a different context

I think that might just have been a normal reaction to seeing Martin Sheen in a movie....
