Ah ha! I found a bookmark for the forum and when I click on it, I see that I am alteady logged in. So I guess that must be the trick.
My bookmarks list is completely random and disorganized. I should have things grouped but, sadly, they are not.
If you get them back, be sure to fill out the ID info in the credencial and include e-mail and phone #. A good idea to write this info on one of the passport pages too. I hope you recover them.
Also use a sticky label, write any pertinent ID info on it and stick it on the back of your phone...
How can I stay “logged in” on the forums? Even though I have checked the “stay logged in” box, I have to keep logging in in order to post or comment. Am I missing something here or what?

I agree. Casa de Carmina is a great albergue. Very nice people. I was there twice. In 2018, I detoured a couple kilometers off the Camino to see Cudillero. It’s so pretty. It’s down a VERY steep road to get to the harbor area. I taxied back up to reconnect with the Camino. In 2019, I did...
I do have quite a few sellos from ayuntamientos and Guardia Civil puestos but they too suffer from the perennial Spanish CERRADO problem. The ayuntamientos tend to slam the doors shut at 2:00-2:30 and not open until 9:00-10:00 in the morning. A lot of the GC puestos also had very limited...
