According to an article in Exprexo.Info, referenced on the Facebook page for the Invierno, the number of pilgrims on the route has increased by 42% compared to the same time in 2023, a total of 2,767 at the time of publication. I walked it in 2023 and thought it was a wonderful balance of solitude and interaction with a few fellow pilgrims.

Better get in quick folks.
The tour groups and luggage transfers are already there, so numbers will only increase.
It will probably start to take some pressure off the final stages of the Frances, which is not a bad thing.

I walked last month and saw only 4 others until Rodeiro, where there was an influx of about 6 or so who were using a pack transport service. Still a fairly solitary experience though.

I walked the Invierno last September, and other than the first night out of Ponferrada when there were eight of us at the albergue, I only remember seeing two other walker and two bicyclists the rest of the way until we ended in Monforte.
