SJPDP pilgrim office statistics - January to June 2024

Bradypus · Tuesday at 10:20 AM

@Monasp has just posted the SJPDP figures for pilgrims recorded at the pilgrim office for the first six months of this year. Up a little over 4% on the same period last year. The pdf file is on the SJPDP pilgrim office Facebook account. I've attached a screenshot of the table for those who do not use Facebook.

Interestingly when looking on Santiagos statistics only 15.369 pilgrims that started in SJPDP claimed a compostela this year. Assuming it takes 1 month to walk (like, 1 month worth of pilgrims is still on the road, so i compare to the Jan-May number) there is a discrepancy of 8344 pilgrims. I guess some have to quit unvoluntarily and some more only walk a section, but honestly, i find roughly 1/3rd of "loss" quite a bit.

This may be the root of your difficulty. For the young and strong, that may be a good number. For folks who aren't, like myself, 7-8 weeks would be a better figure.

At either end of the route. Or both.

Indeed, all points to higher numbers

I walked with people who never went to the pilgrims office in SJPDP and also never got a Compestella at the end. I went to the Pilgrims both times in SJPDP
to know if NP route would be open first week in April. Some people pick their dates and walk come what may or which route. Not everyone is all Camino all the time like some of us.

Not all pilgrims that start in SJPP finish the Camino
