This year to date there have been 300,000 Compostela certificates issued in Santiago de Compostela.
These are to pilgrims who have walked at least the final 100kms on one of the many Camino routes into Santiago.
Personally we are glad that we walked when it was quieter. Although the increase in numbers is in many ways welcome for helping the economy of the region it does mean that there are greater crowds, particularly in Santiago itself.
We look forward to walking the quieter sections of the Norte and beyond next year without planning to reach Santiago itself.
