While I could probably try to dig this up myself, I'm going to ask the question hoping you've got a ready answer.
ReplyDeleteWhile the percentage of spanish pilgrims is going down, what do the raw numbers indicate? Meaning, are the percentages going down because more foreigners are coming? Or are spaniards coming in fewer numbers?
