The graph below shows that numbers by month of Compostelas issued for Pilgrims on the Camino Norte (as defined by the Pilgrim Office) have declined slightly since 2019.

Keep in mind that the data is by month of arrival in Santiago de Compostela.

This year's drop has been consistent across the last three months although the drop is relative small given overall numbers walking. It will be interesting to see what August and September bring. Perhaps this shows that numbers on the Norte peaked in 2019. The Norte is running against the overall trend across almost all other Caminos which are generally showing increases over their 2019 figures.

Hi all! I walked the Le Puy to Roncesvalles route last spring, and now I am thinking of Arles to Compostela on the Norte in the fall. I have many questions. I have downloaded the WP Norte App. I...
