- Time of past OR future Camino
- Many, many Caminos, mostly past maybe some future.
If my math is correct, these are the numbers through July for the VdlP (from the Pilgrim Office):
2016 = 5424
2017 = 5430
Six more pilgrims in 7 months! This, while the Portugues route increased by thousands!
If everyone was required to walk from Seville, I could see why most people would be reluctant to tackle 1000 km. But since the vast majority of these 5400 folks walked a much shorter Camino, and the fact that the second half of the VdlP is arguably one of the most beautiful landscapes in all of Spain, this really puzzles me.
I hope this is not interpreted as critical of anyone else's choices. It is only meant as a curiosity. Any thoughts?
