100,000th Pilgrim arrives – all the numbers from Santiago

Yesterday around 4pm an unsuspecting group of pilgrims arrived at the Pilgrims Office in Santiago. A French family called Béjamin, who had walked from Ponte de Lima on the Camino Portugúes, took pilgrim numbers through the 100,000 mark. Mum, dad and three sons were delighted to have arrived in Santiago and a group of pilgrims in the courtyard cheered in celebration  
 The arrival of the Béjamin family continues the trend of increased numbers. By close of play yesterday 100,267 pilgrims had arrived since 1 January 2012. This compares to 94,518 for the same period last year. This 6% increase is very much in line with previous increases. The big increases however are seen in the English speaking countries where the remarkable rate of growth continues.
