Just curious if there are still lots of folks starting their caminos, now, or have the numbers diminished?

I left Burgete this morning. Once on the track I only noticed people in the towns. Along the track I would occasionally be overtaken or over take some one else. Many times I could see 100 m ahead and behind and not see any one else. I am staying at Albergue San Nicholas which is full now but was still taking bookings at lunch time.
 
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
Thanks!! I guess one could also look at the numbers of people starting from various places, but I prefer the personal comments! ;)
Buen Camino to all!!
