I preordered my credential from this forum. I used the QR to register. My question: On the first page at the bottom, it states “Cumplió la peregrinación (sello) or “I completed the pilgrimage”. There is then room for like 1 or 2 seals. I feel like this should be obvious, but my OCD self wants to...
Due to an injured knee, I'm thinking of cycling from Porto to Santiago this coming June, what is the qualifying distance to get a Compostela?
Thanks in advance!
Hey folks,
I got my credential passport in the post today (Wohoo) looking forward to walking later in the year.
I was surprised by the amount of space. It says ‘you must have at least two stamps per day dated to validate your journey.’
If you walk all the way from SPJDP to Santiago de...
On our first camino, we enjoyed getting stamps, but it was not an obsession. Then we met Taddeus, a larger than life Polish peregrino who wore a fur coat despite the heat and had a massive photo of John Paul II hanging in front of him in a heavy, wood frame. He was a fast walker, but we always...
The article below indicates that this represents more than 10-fold increase in the number of U.S residents receiving the Compostela in little more than ten years. It attributes much of this growth to the popularity of the film The Way.
Personally, when I did my first walk on the Camino in 2016...
Hi there. My parents and I will be walking the last 100km to Santiago de Compostela from Sarria. Just wondering if I register is as a group, will we all get individual certificates, or will there be only 1 per group? Or would it be better to just do a single registration for each of us?
Obviously, this is prompted by the current 'Trends in 2023 - Gronze article' thread.
We talk about this often on the forum: how many pilgrims do NOT collect a Compostela?
So because it's winter in Europe, and most of us are at home rather than on the Camino, it seems like the perfect time to...

Hello forum friends,
I had searched historical threadsa and found a few on framed compostelas. I wanted to share what I had done at Michael's, here in the US. The individual, David, that helped me helped with determine that side by side would create less "white space" on the frame, and then...
Hello!! I started in SJPP on September 20th (34 days ago), and I passed through Sarria today so this is a two parter:
1) I’m missing some days of stamps from when I stayed in donativos without stamps or for whatever other reason. 9/21, 10/1, and 10/4. Is this going to be an issue?
2) I’m...
I don't know were to post this question. Sorry.
I have a question about the distance certificate that you can get in Santiago.
I do my camino in three stages and started in 2021 in Irun on the camino norte. This year i did stage two. It was wonderful by the way.
I switch in Villavisiosa to...
I started in SJPdP and will be arriving soon in Santiago. I just passed through Sarria and did not get a stamp until I got to Barbadelo for the night. s long as I get 2 stamps from here am I ok to get compostella?
Gracias
I've searched all over the forum, but can't find an answer. This question is so basic I'm sure it must have been answered.
In Santiago where and how do I turn in my credenciales? What time should I plan to arrive? What time is the pilgrim's mass? Is it every day?
We have 7 more stages on the...
I have just emptied my house and put everything into storage while major building work is done. In the process I discovered my credencial, diary and Compostela from my 1990 Camino which I thought I had lost for good years ago. I've just noticed a curious detail on the Compostela. The cathedral...
A friend is walking the Frances to honor a loved one who passed. Can he get a compostella in the name of the loved one or have that person's name added to his compostella?
Having a little bit of free time (as there is nothing to do for me in Lugo now, even the cathedral was closed in the afternoon, where I wished to spend some hours in prayer), I tried to fill the registration form for the compostella and got stuck.
We (me and my son) are walking the Camino...
