    How many pilgrims are expected on the French Way in April 2024

    Hi, I will be starting my 3rd Camino in several weeks and at a completely different time of year. I am wondering how many pilgrims are expected on this path in April, are there any estimates? Buen Camino

    May/June on Camino Francés

    Hi wise pilgrims, I'm planning to do the CF from SJPDP this spring, and I was hoping to avoid the worst of the crowds. When I originally planned, I checked the stats for 2022, and picked the first of May as the date to set off, because May looked quieter than the peak in August. (CF is in blue...

    Walking with a guide

    I've been wondering, of the roughly 450,000 pilgrims who got their compostelas last year, about how many walked the route with a paid guide? I can't find that information from either the pilgrim office or my old friend Google.

    SJPDP pilgrim office numbers - January to October 2023

    The SJPDP pilgrim office numbers for January to October have just been posted on their Facebook account. After a very busy start to the year things seem to have settled down a little. By the end of October the numbers recorded by the office were 6.4% up on the same period in 2022. At the other...

    Some data on booking ahead on the CF at Rabanal del Camino

    I've done a small data collection project, that some people might find interesting. My motivation was that I prefer to book my accommodation in advance (I'm slow, and like to take my time and know where I'm stopping). Ideally, I'd like to just book one day ahead, but this has not always been...

    New detailed daily arrival statistics from Solviturambulando

    I've just seen a post in a Facebook group by Diego Romero who maintains the very useful Solviturambulando Camino statistics site. Diego has just added a new level of detail to the day-by-day figures by breaking the daily total down by route walked, nationality and starting point. A great tool...

    Pilgrim Office statistics

    I had read that the statistics page had changed, but only just checked it out a couple of days ago. I am having trouble finding the information that I want in the new format. For example if I want to see how many Compostelas were issued in a particular month, all that I see is this graph...

    Is there a way to find the number of compostelas for any given day

    I am curious as to how many pilgrims received a compostela or distance certificate on the day I completed my most recent camino. Is there a way to search on what has been issued by date?

    Statistical data from the Oficina website

    Does anyone know if the statistical data (age, nationality, route, etc.) collected by the Pilgrims office is available somewhere other than the website? It's nice that it's available in a web format with some basic filters but if one wanted to dig deeper into the numbers is there any other...

    Increased numbers on the Fisterra and Muxia routes

    El Correo Gallego has an article on a substantial increase in numbers on the routes to Fisterra and Muxia this year - both in the albergues and in those asking for a Fisterrana certificate. In line with the increased numbers recorded receiving Compostelas from the Santiago pilgrim office. The...

    Biggest month of May ever

    https://www.elcorreogallego.es/santiago/2023/06/07/camino-continua-rompiendo-records-firma-88386042.html 61,139 Compostelas last month, a 26% increase from May last year, and nearly 120,000 so far this year -- so looks like yet another record year. 40% Spaniards, and the top three other...

    How busy are July and August usually?

    I'm reading all sorts of things about the Francés being super busy right now and the high season being in May. I was wondering how quiet does it usually get in July and August, compared to May, or the high season, as I will be walking from beginning of July to end of August. What's the usual...

    A tale of two Caminos - What about those crowds?

    And they are both the Camino Francés! As @Juanma says, the high (crowded) seasons of the first 700 km of the Camino Francés are in May and September, (and it seems increasingly in April), while the high season of the last 100 km after Sarria occurs in July and August. This is due to the large...
