El Camino totals 130,000 pilgrims so far this year.
Last night the number passed the barrier of 129,500, according to official data provided by the Archdiocese of Santiago. And that means that unless trends change, the exercise will conclude with some 184,000 pilgrims arrived in the capital of Galicia, the highest number of statistically in documented history. If the comparison is the dramatic exception record (272,135 people) registered at the close of Xacobeo 2010.
For now, competition in the road exceeds the cumulative 24.8% at this point in 2009 and even improves by 2.4 percentage points of the Jubilee 2004. Knowing these figures, the Regional Minister of Culture and Tourism declared yesterday: "O mais é Xacobeo more than ever a global phenomenon." Also, Roberto Varela noted the efforts of the regional government in the promotion and care of the route.
