The Camino Frances is the busiest pilgrimage route and boasts the largest number of beds and shelters : 10 645 beds spread over 242 hostels
•The average price for accommodation in bunk bed in a hostel is EUR 6.5
•The pilgrim has, on average, a pplace with a shelter every 6.3 km
The Camino de Santiago continues its unstoppable rise year after year since 1999, reaching historical figures every time there is a Holy Year, as in 2010.
In 2009, 145 877 people came on pilgrimage to Santiago Compostela and collected the Compostela, the highest Holy Year number since statistics began. The increase was of 20 736 persons in respect of 2008 data, 16.6% more.
The data recorded this January 2010, in which 1156 pilgrims arrived compared with 520 the same period in 2009 is up 122%
The increase in travellers has resulted in the increase of beds and shelters on the Camino Frances. The specialist publication of consumer.es has completed walking the route of the Way (quintessential Jacobean route chosen in 2009 by 77.5% of the pilgrims) and telephone contacts with 95% of the shelters on this route.
In the 759 kilometers between Roncesvalles and Santiago de Compostela there are 242 pilgrims hostels offering 10 645 beds. Comparing these figures with those recorded by CONSUMER EROSKI in 2005, there has been a 53% increase in the provision of shelters, in that year the number was 158. The number of places per kilometer reached 14.
By Autonomous Community, Navarra has 1727 offering 142 kilometers (12.2 places per kilometer), La Rioja has 773 beds on 63.5 kilometers (12.1 also places per kilometer), Castilla y León 5189 beds in total 397.2 km (13.1 places per kilometer) and offers the highest density Galicia: 2,956 beds on 156.1 kilometers (18.9 places per kilometer).
Of the 242 shelters, 79 are public (33%), 130 are private (54%) and the remaining 33 accommodations are for parishes, religious orders, associations for the disabled, etc. Of all places, 4191 are public (39%), private 4598 (43%) and religious entities 1856.
The average charge for accommodation on the camino Frances in early 2010 is in 6.5 euros.
By Autonomous Community, the highest prices are in Galicia with 7.7 euros and the lowest is in Castilla y León with 5.7 euros.
The camino Frances private hostels have an above average price of 7.7 euros and both public and religious hostels are under 6 euros. Of the 242 shelters only one did not provide the price. Thus, of the 241, almost one in two (119 lodges) charge between 6 and 10 euros, 34% (81) charge 5 euros or less, 15% (36) requested a donation and 2% (6) claim more than 10 euros.
During the pilgrimage on foot, CONSUMER EROSKI spent on the Camino Francés ±29 euros per day, accounting for expenditure in shelters (alternating between public and private housing), breakfast, lunch and dinner (ranging from two and one daily menu and snack menu), the cost of washing machine and dryer (every three days or so and sharing the laundry), the price per visit to a monument, purchase of medicines and other miscellaneous expenses. The 29 euro for 31 days on average it takes to travel the route between Saint Jean Pied de Port and Santiago cost 899 euros. Added to the amount that can be involved travel to Saint Jean Pied de Port and the return from the pilgrimage, the full cost was around 1,000 euros.
135 shelters (56%) remain open throughout the year. The remaining 107 or close only in winter, or open from Easter until late October or early November and are available only during the summer months. 44% of accommodation (the vast majority of private) all one to book ahead. The remaining 136 lodgings, where places virtually all publicly owned and parish, do not allow prebooking.
Only one in three hostels offer some kind of ticket, whether individual or collective, or tables or cabinets for storing backpacks or personal items. It is part of the equipment that is missed in hostels for pilgrims, since in many cases the rooms leave no no space for this type of furniture. Apart from three isolated cases of refugees who have no hot water, the rest of the Camino Frances shelters have showers and toilets and hot water.
87% of the shelters, a total of 210, are equipped with sink, washing up to 172 available, 71%. The laundry prices ranged between $ 2 and $ 5 (one tries to share with other pilgrims). 60%, are equipped with a dryer and the price ranges from 1 euro (maximum time) and 6 euros, being the most requested amount of 3 euros.
Six out of ten hostels have a kitchen for use by pilgrims and 80 shelters, 33%, serve meals in a facility owned or at the hostel. 17% either have a kitchen or give meals. One in two offers a pay phone or lets you call from a landline. In early 2010, 193 shelters (80%) allowed pilgrims to keep a bike indoors or in an enclosed space prepared for that purpose, although there are shelters that have bicycle racks but outside. 54% of the shelters offer on site Internet (wifi, private computer, equipment, pay with coins).
From Roncesvalles to Santiago de Compostela we can establish that there is a pilgrim hostel every 6.3 km or 1.6 hours of travel (by setting an average speed of 4 km / h, which is unusual when you consider the time spent on breaks).
