On the Archdiocese of Santiago de Compostela’s web page (http://www.archicompostela.org/Peregrinos/Inglés/Peregrinsantiago.htm) that Sil provided us with, appears the following:


Interesting stats. Wonder why the number of pilgrims has more than doubled for April/07. Also, it's so nice to belong to the exclusive age group that has the least number of pilgrims, don't ask me why :!:

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

Xm, that's 7,010 pilgrims for the year 2006. The April 2007 results are of course not available yet, there's still the fourth week upcoming, and I doubt if they will have the numbers posted soon. There seems to be several months backlog.
 
In particular I'm interested in numbers for 2007 compared to 2006 and to 2005. My guess is that the number of german "pilgrims" will have at least doubled. Why so? See my post regarding that phenomenon under http://www.santiago-today.com/board/viewtopic.php?p=9547#9547 dated 21.04.07

From conversations I know that many of this guys come "just for the sport". Nothing wrong with it. But very characteristic.
 
Pilgrims Office says:

During the month of April, 7010 pilgrims were received at the Pilgrim’s Office. The number of pilgrims in the year 2005 during the same period was 3307.

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
In 2005 Easter Sunday was 27th of March, in 2006 Easter Sunday was 16th of April. Perhaps this can explain why the number of pilgrims was doubled this year compared to the year before when "Easter pilgrims" walked in March?

(Just a little theory...)

Just to clarify (my fault), the Archdiocese data shows the April 2006 numbers at 7,010 which is double that of April 2005. There are no April 2007 numbers yet.
