Too many and too often!
An article from a local news website commenting on the recovery of tourism and pilgrim numbers in Galicia in recent months. Some interesting comment on the economic value of pilgrims to the region: a relatively small proportion of Galicia's overall tourism income but disproportionately valuable per individual.

Milagro tras la Covid: Galicia anticipa récord de peregrinos por el año Xacobeo

El valor económico de cada persona que hace el Camino de Santiago equivale al de 2,3 turistas nacionales, ya que su presencia se expande durante más días y gasta el 61% de su presupuesto en comer.

El valor del camino no reside sólo en la llegada: los peregrinos van dejando su huella allá por donde pasan
This is a positive view, which is welcome, of the contribution of pilgrims all along the Caminos - here I am projecting that it is not just the Frances. Thanks for this post.
 

The very high numbers are just the last 100 km
