[Gocamino] Statistics

[Rosina]

There were 152,000 Compostela-receiving pilgrims in 2009. Will post the full, detailed stats as soon as I have some time.
Hello from Santiago on this, the first day since I got here, without constant near-torrential rain.
The only time that the cats-and-dogs rain stopped was during the hour preceding the opening of the Holy Door when he ceremonies took place outside on Quintana Square. If I were not a believer I would certainly be inclined to become one.  Some people may say that it was a heck of  coincidence. Could be, but Bill Moyers once said that coincidences are a way for God to remain anonymous.
It was really something else!
Hugs.

Pilgrimage stats through 2009. Fairly complete data, will update as complete info becomes available.
 
A 17% increase over last year, with a slight decrease in German Pilgrims receiving the Compostela.
