[Gocamino] Latest pilgrim numbers from Santiago - less Spanish pilgrims?

[Johnnie Walker]

Hola
Signs of the Times
I've run an analysis of the statistics on arriving pilgrims for the year so far. Some interesting trends may be emerging.
After August the busiest month the increase in pilgrims from English speaking countries remains significant but not quite as high as last month.
Also it seems that overall pilgrim numbers are increasing at  a lower rate than previous years and the number of Spanish pilgrims appears to be decreasing.
Early days to reach meaningful conclusions but the pundits are already speculating this is due to the economic crisis in Spain. 
What do you think? See the full analysis here:
