I don't see that a further breakdown was done to include those who arrived in Santiago from other routes, like, Norte, Mozarabe, Ingles, etc. I wonder where the current tabulations of pilgrims from those other routes are kept-?

I have a feeling these are numbers given directly to the journalist and that they are not yet published anywhere. Once they are published, I guess they will appear here:
Spanish:
http://www.archicompostela.org/Peregrin ... nacion.htm
English:
http://www.archicompostela.org/Peregrin ... istics.htm

... as you see they are a bit behind in updating this page.

Un saludo,
Ivar

There were over 1,600 Americans (United States) this year? Where where they? I only met 4 others during my time on the Way (July - August 2007), and two were brothers. I heard rumors of one or two USA types lurking around, but a number of fellow pilgrims commented on our rarity. Maybe they all did it earlier in the summer...?

I don´t know, vino, but I heard about all kinds of Americans on the Camino this past month, but only met 2 or 3 (including forum member Rachel).

I'm always surprised by the lack of Irish pilgrims on this list. I intend to give that group a small boost this autumn.
