Do many Asian people do the Camino de Santiago? I'm really curious about it. Feel free to talk to me! ^^

Hi. Camino de Santiago is a very popular destination all around the world.
Visit this website: Oficina del peregrino. You can download some information by year about pilgrims nationality, gender, etc (in Spanish, but easy to understand)

You can see there are lot of pilgrims from South Korea. In winter time (low season), large number of pilgrims are Korean students, they have long winter vacation and take advantage to conme to het Camino. I've found this article that explain why the Camino is so popular in that country.

I've met pilgrims from Japan and China as well (not as many as Koreans). By the way, Camino de Santiago is twinned with two Japanese pilgrimate routes: Kumano Kodo and Shikoku Henro (88 temples route)
Anyway, in every country there are Camino de Santiago friends groups, you should contact them and ask directly. Sorry, I'm not able of finding any website.
Buen Camino.
Hi how are you Until July I do not think that you can make your way here since the hostels will not be open ..... if it could be done with your store ... and following the arrows of the road you want to do ... Usually there are people who speak English but as we go through extreme cases or the coronavirus issue, you will find fewer people who speak English.
