Why no increase in pilgrims on the VdlP?

[QUOTE="amancio, post: 543795, member: 2440"] My two cents from an Andalusian who has only walked Guillena-Salamanca. I think VdlP does not grow because 1) Seasonality. The time of the year is April-May, long days, not too hot, amazing blooming countryside. Summer time is too hot for making it an enjoy 2) Length. It requires 40 days on average, not everybody has the time 3) Solitude. Not everybody enjoys it 4) Looong distances between towns. Castilblanco-Almadén, Casar-Cañaveral (how I miss that amazing albergue by the lake!!!!) Carcaboso-Aldeanueva are demanding stages with nothing in between. I, for one, LOVE having some stages like that in between. 5) Compostelas. Most pilgrims in VdlP are experienced pilgrims, they may not simply bother to ask for the Compostela in Santiago. I do not get the compostela any more. 6) Not everybody makes it to Santiago, it is long enough. This said, I am hoping to move on, and do Salamanca-Santiago soon (perhaps September?) To me, living only 200 miles away from Seville, it is a MUST to walk a few days in the dehesa every springtime, from Castilblanco to Zafra or so. It is an out-of-this-world experience; I have breakfast in Granada, lunch in Guillena, then dinner in Castilblanco sharing a table with Australians, Koreans, Brazilians... it is just amazing!!!
