Statistics, May 2018

It was a record May with 40,665 compostelas. The genders were evenly divided, and Sarria maintained its status as the #1 starting point.

And June 1, 2018 was the first day this year with over 2,000 compostelas issued!! No wonder the lines are long at the Pilgrim Office. It usually is July before the daily number reaches that.

I waited 3 hours in line on May 29th for mine. I was annoyed things didn't move more quickly, poor customer service, until somebody informed me the staff are volunteers. Wow, that puts a different spin on it. I'm glad that I waited and grateful for their service but I still say my feet hurt worse from standing in that line than from coming down the hills.

Thanks, Falcon! The Invierno seems to be really growing now. That is 54 pilgrims in May only!
