About 9500 pilgrims were counted by the Pilgrims Office. The exact number will be published on their website and in regional newspapers within the next few days, I'am quite sure.How many pilgrims arrived in July 2019?
And we already have the Pilgrims Office's official number: Nearly 10.000 pilgrims arrived in Santiago during the first month since the re-opening of the Camino, titles La Voz de Galicia this morning, and they also have the official figure: 9.752 Compostelas were issued in this month of July 2020.About 9.500 pilgrims were counted by the Pilgrims Office.

Compare this figure with 53.000 in July 2019
I expect the Pilgrims Office to publish some more detailed data about the composition of those who walked to Santiago during this summer month.Probably a good part of them were young pilgrims from Sarria, who want to include the compostela in their CV, very important nowadays on the shrinking job market in Spain.
What is a CV?Yeah, I don't think that the Camino will make any difference in your CV.
Thank you. .
My friends in Spain have told me that having the Camino on your CV is useful. I imagine that for an employer it would indicate adaptability, resilience and resourcefulness; and an openness to new cultural and social experiences, which are all good qualities. This is particularly so for those who do longer walks. I think it's a great thing to put on a CV, and Spanish people would be proud of their achievement.Yeah, I don't think that the Camino will make any difference in your CV.
