According to the article that pilgrim was the Vice President of the Xunta.. A similar sentiment is mentioned by a Galician pilgrim quoted by La Voz Galicia encouraging other Galicians 'to go out and discover the beauty of Galicia.'
Let's see what happens next.
I sure hope so, Alex!Our time will come in due time.
That's a very good question Sue......I've walked the CF end to end five times in the past 3 years and can't wait to go again. I see that your CF was in October last year. Kudos for confounding the nay-sayers. I walked a few weeks before you and it was a truly wonderful experience; the locals, despite having by then gone through their own Covid-19 horror, were exceptionally kind, welcoming and gracious. On day four, just leaving Pamplona, I met a young man from Barcelona whose maternal Grandparents had both died in the pandemic, he said that he was walking all the way to SdC to honour them. That encounter was all the reassurance I needed to affirm my belief that in spite of everything both life, and the Camino, will endure.It will happen, and when it does, I will be there, How can something that you have only done once make you yearn to do it again?
With an overall percentage of 73% Spanish pilgrims it has been quite different in composition than in other years. Just like everywhere else in Europe, people in Spain overwhelmingly preferred to spend their yearly vacation time/leisure time in their own country. BTW, weren't you the guy who was holding a medal???

Thank you for sharing, @trecile, and well done ... I like it: what you compare with what and how you do it.I made some graphs for my local Camino group, and since I spent so much #^%$&* time figuring out how to make them, I thought that they should get more use. This is the breakdown of pilgrims by continent this year. It doesn't show in the graph, but the percentage of Spaniards averaged about 70% of all pilgrims, with 76% in July and 79% in August. Thus far this year, according to the Pilgrims Office 166,581 Compostelas have been awarded.
I hope you feel like updating your tables and graphs with the October and November 2021 data when they become available although these are not the busiest months of the yearI thought that it would be interesting to compare the pilgrim numbers in the busiest months of year in 2019 and 2021. As you can see, the number of European pilgrims in September was almost at the same level this year as in 2019.
I wonder whether the total number of Compostelas for Nov 2021 will be higher than the one for Nov 2019, and whether that's still due to the strong Spanish and European share or whether international travel starts to show an effect.
Wow, I think that's what they call "statistically significant". Thank you, @Marc S.5020 from Spain ..., compared to 2804 in November 2019
I wonder why
