    Nearly Half a Million on the Frances....but....

    .....how many actually walk the entire Frances? Are there any numbers on this? Kinda thought there would be more on the sign-ups. Is this because the Europeans pilgrims wouldn't be on this English-speaking site?

    Pilgrim office statistics from SJPDP - numbers up 33% on last year

    The SJPDP pilgrim office has published monthly figures and annual totals of pilgrims registered there since 2012. They are noting that for the first three months this year pilgrim numbers are up by 33% on the same period in 2022. Similar to the 2019 figures...

    How many pilgrims do not ask for a Compostela after their Camino?

    I've just been reading an article on a Ferrol news website which notes a substantial increase in numbers walking the Camino Ingles so far this year compared with 2022. Similar scale increase to that across the board in the pilgrim office statistics generally. Of course these numbers are from the...

    Camino Ingles numbers increasing this year?

    A Ferrol news website has reported on the marked increase in numbers who have walked the Camino Ingles so far this year compared with 2022. Much in line with the general trend of the pilgrim office figures for all routes. One part of the article caught my eye in particular - a suggestion that...

    Pilgrim office statistics page - new format and filter tools

    A note for the terminally nerdy like myself. I just went to the pilgrim office website to look up some figures from 2019 and discovered that the statistics pages have been radically redesigned. A new format and many new search filters. Including running totals to date for the year.

    40% increase in pilgrim numbers in February?

    An article in El Correo Gallego reporting a substantial increase in pilgrim arrivals recorded in Santiago so far this year compared with the same period in 2022. Surprising given the 2022 Holy Year status. Early signs of a specially busy year rather than the drop observed after previous Holy...

    Comparison of Pilgrim statistics from SJPdP 2019 vs 2022

    I read @henrythedog's FindPenguins blog today, and he mentioned meeting up with @ivar and @natefaith when he arrived in Santiago. The consensus was that the record numbers of pilgrims receiving a Compostela last year was mostly due to those starting close to Santiago. This is borne out by...

    2022 pilgrim statistics from León.

    A local news website notes that an Amigos group in León have published their annual statistical report on pilgrims passing through the province. They have seen a marked recovery after COVID but despite the Holy Year numbers passing through the region are well down from the peak seen in 2017...

    January Compostela statistics - number of foreign pilgrims increased

    An article in La Voz de Galicia commenting on a substantial increase in Compostela numbers in January compared with the 2022 figures. And noting that foreign pilgrims markedly outnumber those from Spain. Perhaps foreigners have been avoiding the Holy Year crush? The article notes that Koreans...

    Peter Kirchmann, German Camino blogger from https://jakobsweg-lebensweg.de/pilgerstatistik-2022/ has diligently compiled statistics from the Oficina de Acogida al Peregrino and other sources into interesting graphics. The page is in German, but the images are understandable in any language. (Or...

    Historical arrival numbers

    Hi- Earlier this year I walked the Camino Frances, arriving in Santiago on Aug 2nd. In a few weeks I am going to be giving a presentation about my journey to some coworkers and I was hoping to include some numbers. Is there a place online where I can find out how many people arrived in Santiago...

    April 1st starting in SJPdP - How many people?

    Due to coming across some cheap airfare in March, I was thinking of walking the Camino starting in SJPdP on April 1. (My first camino in 2018 was late April) But curious how many people (approximately) head out of SJPdP on the actual 1st day of April. I know this varies year to year but can...

    September 2022 Statistics

    Looking at the official Oficina de Peregrino website it shows only 1774 compostelas issued for September. There were 85,842 issued in August, 67,734 issued in July, and 58,012 issued in June. Can this be right? Is there really that big of drop-off? According to the statistics, 66 of those...

    Cycling (Bicicleta) Pilgrims receiving Compostelas

    Cycling Pilgrims attaining Compostelas reached peak numbers back in 2010, another Holy year. Since then both the numbers of Pilgrims who cycle for their Compostela and the percentage of cyclists to other modes of travel have consistently fallen. During January, February and December there are...

    Maritime (Boat) Pilgrims obtaining a Compostela

    Since 2016 the Pilgrim Office in Santiago de Compostela have been recording Compostelas issued to Maritime Pilgrims. I am not sure if 2016 was the first year that they issued a Maritime Compostela or if it was simply when they started publishing the numbers who obtain this Compostela. I don't...

    Obtaining a Compostela on a horse

    There was some discussion back in 2019-2020 about Horses on the Camino and some people seemed surprised that there is a Compostela category for horse riders. Well, completing a Camino on horseback and gaining a Compostela is something that happens regularly. It is slightly less popular these...

    Pilgrim age bands and changes over time

    Below are a couple of charts drawn using data from the Pilgrim Office in Santiago de Compostela. These numbers only relate to Pilgrims who applied for a certificate from the Pilgrim Office. Please note that the three age bands are chosen by the Pilgrim Office and I am unable to alter these as I...

Keep in mind that the data is by month of arrival in Santiago de Compostela. The number of Pilgrims vary up and...
