neutral AllegroTrans : Whilst this is correct, it's too wordy in the context

Yes, I was aware of the wordiness, but some, like me, prefer to be prolific writers/translators, but, of couse, without being redundant.

pilgrims who traveled from afar

It tells us there's an important route between the Portuguese border and Galicia at the westernmost northern part of Spain near Portugal.
Example sentence:

Nos dice que hay un camino importante entre la frontera portuguesa y Galicia.

Peer comment(s):

agree AllegroTrans : or just "pilgrims from afar" given that this is tourism and 100% accuracy is not needed

extrapenninsular travelers

Or you could say

travelers from outside Iberia
travelers foreign to the area
non-Iberian travelers

I could be wrong and maybe someone can improve on what i have. Feel free.
I have seen something like this in Las Vegas where locals to Las Vegas and Nevada get discounts the rest of us don't.

disagree AllegroTrans : We would never say this in English

CTC. Keeping it simple. The "peninsular" comment in the source text is a Spanish thing, I doubt many tourists coming to hike the Camino de Santiago will be aware of it.
