RIP 2019
- Time of past OR future Camino
- One every year since 2007
Pilgrim arrivals registered at the Oficina de Peregrinos in Santiago during August 2015 were 54’795. Those numbers represent a 7% increase compared to the arrivals in August 2014 (51’219).
33’759 Pilgrims walked the Camino Francés during August (65% of all arrivals), 220 less than those during the same month in 2014. However, 1’474 more pilgrims than in August 2014 (+ 11%) started from Sarria. This shift of ever more pilgrims starting from Sarria keeps increasing. In fact, year-to-date Sarria walker increases, compared to previous years, were 40% (2015), 37% (2014), 35% (2013) and 31% (2012).
The year-to-date pilgrim arrivals increases from Caminos other than the Francés are outpacing the latter’s trend (+6%): Portugués +22%, Primitivo +40%, Inglés +29%, Norte +11%, VdlP +8%
There is only a marginal change in pilgrims who started from SJPP/Roncesvalles/Pamplona: 28’615 this year, 28’040 during 2014. (+2%)
Looking ahead: September has traditionally shown arrival figures similar to those of June. If this trend continues this year, some 36’000 pilgrims could be expected, of whom about 70% walked the Francés. The numbers starting from O’Cebreiro and Sarria should “cool down” marginally to July levels, but will still be substantial: about 1/3 of all arrivals in Santiago. We’ll see!?
