Greetings,
Tradition is that years that fall on a Sunday that coincide with the Saint's day are declared by the Cathedral Authorities as Holy Years. They occur in 5,6 and 11 years intervals. 2021 was such a Holy year. Pilgrims who visit the shrine are granted a plenary indulgence. As previously...

I've already received 2 Compostela for completing routes, and don't need more. I'm still walking other routes. Is reporting activity helpful, or not important?
I was wondering if there is any way of finding out how many people start out
at St Jean Pied de Port each day. For instance, there is a counter on the internet
on how many people receive their Compostela each day in Santiago. Here's where it
would come into play: if 500 people started the...
Hi to all, is there a site that provides up-to-date data on the daily or weekly numbers of pilgrims beginning at St Jean Pied de Port? Basically, I am trying to find out if the numbers are high or low at a particular time (June) to help me plan my Camino. I would prefer not to book too far in...
Hello everyone!
I have started to collect the data of daily arrivals of pilgrims to Santiago and to update them automatically on a daily basis. As you know, the Pilgrim's Office only offers this information on its website every day but not in the consolidated statistics it publishes.

Greetings Nerds! I keep up the statistics page in the American Pilgrims' website. (americanpilgrims.org/statistics). I'm looking for St. Jean departure numbers for 2020 and, if possible, 2021 YTD. Years through 2019 are available at aucoeurduchemin.org/statistiques-des-pelerins/. But I'm drawing...
September has become the most popular month to start from St Jean Pied de Port. A couple of years ago I remember reading accounts of 400+ pilgrims per day setting out from SJPdP, and the statistics from the Pilgrims Office in St Jean bear this out.
I snipped a couple of charts
As you can...
For those interested, the Oficina Peregrino has published its statistics for April
In April, 977 pilgrims arrived in Santiago. This is a significant increase compared to March, when there were only 194.
Not surprisingly, a majority was Spanish (783), of whom a majority was Galician (666).

For those interested. The Officina Peregrino has published its statistics about arrivals in March. It turns out that 194 pilgrims arrived in Santiago, (not surpisingsly) the majority of those being Spanish, and (not surprisingly) the majority of those being Galician.
As some of the 'Officina...
