Counting Pilgrims

[Heather Wright]

With all these numbers being so high, it is a little discouraging to think of planning a journey next year.  What time of year are these numbers estimated for?  I assume the most of them will be there between May and August.  I am planning to go at the end of August, so I will there through Sept., are these estimates for that late in the year as well?

  Hi,
  At first I, too, thought that the 270,000 were "pilgrim nights", but after
  making inquiries I've been told that the pilgrims are sort-of tracked down the
  Camino as they traverse it, and that the 270,000 came from the names provided
  by the albergues, regardless of how many, or how few, nights a particular
  pilgrim, identified by name,  may have spent at the albergues.
