- June/Jul 2012; Feb 2014
When I was at the Spanish Confraternity's albergue in Santo Domingo dela Calzada this February they printed off their sheet of statistics for 2013 and gave it to me. I hope that the photo will be readable (the printing is small so I left it as a large photo).
What I found most amazing is that this gives a totally different picture from the statistics at SdC at the pilgrim office. Here you can see that the busiest months are May and September, and that pilgrim numbers increase by 1000 between Feb-Mar, Mar-Apr, Apr-May, drop 800-900 in Jun/Jul, and drop again in Oct before dipping right down in Nov-Feb. (Keep in mind this is one of two albergues in a town and so the interest is in the change of numbers from month to month more so than the actual number themselves.)
It also shows the breakdown of Nationality
After the utter bliss of peace and relative solitude in February, it's interesting to see how many more pilgrims are around a few weeks later in March. Can't wait to walk a spring Camino!
