According to a report on TVG today, over 110.000 pilgrims have arrived to Santiago so far this year.

The number comes from a study made by the University of Santiago, and uses number of nights stayed at albergues to measure the number of pilgrims (not the number of compostelas).

...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
10% More pilgrims than last year

For those who read Galego, here is a pdf.file of the research done.

While everyone is complaining about overcrowding it seems that there are only 10% more pilgrims than last year.
