Stats for Pilgrims On the Camino

After a little digging, the American Pilgrim Site was the best I could find regarding statistics for the numbers of Pilgrims per year.  Please note, that these numbers represent those Pilgrims that received a credential not the numbers who walked.  The reason is that many people do sections of the various trails and do not necessarily end up in Santiago.

Here is the website and I have borrowed some of the information for you.

The numbers are below but the page is much more pretty if you go to it.  So click on the link and you will have all the info you need.  You can increase the size of the graphs by cllicking on them.
