What percentage of pilgrims begin in SJPP and end in Santiago de Compostela in 32 days consecutives?Buen Camino!!
Francisco, several statistics are recorded about pilgrims by the archdiocese, and you can see a summary here:
http://www.archicompostela.org/Peregrinos/Estadisticas/estadisticas2006.htm
I can see from the list that I was one of 162 Kiwis who received a Compostela in 2008! And in 2008, 15,273 began in SJPP, out of 125141 pilgrims who received a Compostela. However, nobody ever asks how many days it took you....

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.

Margart,

Thank you very much..

I wll walk The camino Frances in sept for my first time, and I am searching for information..
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
The Pilgrims Office in St Jean publishes stats on how many pilgrims register with them. These might be passing through pilgrims - who have started elsewhere on the chemins - and also those that are starting at St Jean.

Silldoll,

Thank you very much..I want to start in SJPP and arrive to Santiago in 31 days, and that is the reason why I am looking information in this matter, there is a doubt if I can or can not...I will make it? I want it and I will do it.!!
 
You will do it!!
Just take it easy the first week. Don't divide 800kms into 31 days and try to average 26kms per day. Start off doing less kms and build up as you get fitter and into the groove of walking each day.
I walked from Roncesvalles to Santiago in 27 days in 2002 and although we didn't have any problems it was a bit of a slog.
Have a wonderful walk!!
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.

Sillydoll,

Wonderful advice, first week is is the hard test if I will make it or not the Camino?, once I pass the first week is going to give me confidence and strenght to do it as I can imagine..

Thank you very much.
