We agree with you... and stats are too! Let's see when this "let's get out" trend will reach its peak??

I think if 2024 pilgrims are open to it, they will be able to accept the grace that comes with 2024s rising popularity and bigger numbers. ❤ There used to be 1 million people who did this per year, so the rising numbers are bringing vitality back into an old tradition in this new age, with renewed meaning. How amazing to choose to be a part of that! Buen Camino!

We totally subscribe to your opinion - Earth would be a heaven if everyone walked the Camino! Hugs

This was fascinating! You really dug deep into the stats from the Pilgrim Office. One thing you didn't get into which would be interesting is what percentage of people walk alone. (Also, how many people start alone but don't finish that way and vice versa.) I hope you can come back and do the Shikoku Pilgrimage again some day.

First of all...happy newyear 🎉 I'm starting my camino in 74 days, on march 16, starting in my hometownOstend in Belgium. Starting on the Via Brugensis, Arras-Epernon, Via Turonensis, camino Frances and last but not leats camino Finisterre 🙂

Do you have statistics of how many become so obsessed with the Camino that they buy a house there? I am one of those. I bought it five years after doing the Camino. Heading back to it in a few days to just live on the Camino all summer. Good times to come.

2 ай бұрын

There are already some of our friends from the community on Mozárabe, and they say it’s quite peaceful… some Caminos, maybe because of distance or because of no Hollywood coverage , will never be popular- which is a good news ;)

Will Paris Olympics get more people to Europe this summer? I would combine trips if I could afford to go to any events in Paris😁

My first thought would be that The Camino started as a faith based pilgrimage for Catholics and Catholic women tend to practice their faith more than men statistically; next, would be that women are more social creatures on average and this pilgrimage offers this; last, I think women may be more inclined to do it for the health benefits. Are any of these reasons without looking further into them myself? @@caminotellers
