Certificate from the franciscans to mark 800 years from st. Francis' camino

[werther59]

Hi all ,
we are towards the end of our camino primitivo. When we arrive in Santiago we would like to get the certificate celebrating 800 years from St. Francis' camino. Can we get it before the Compostela?
Thanks
Piera

As I recall, the monk just required to see the pilgrims passport/credentials and asked for my name (which someone else wrote onto the document). I had mine already stamped by the pilgrims office, but did not bring along the actual Compostela.
Left a donation with them and much gratitude.
Bom Caminho!

Yes you can.

My wife and our got it as we walked into Santiago on the Camino Ingles on Aug 3. We passed the Franciscan church on our way to the Peregrino Office. Stopped in got our "credencial" stamped by the Franciscan monks and we received our Cotolaya. Then we continued onto the Peregrino Office where we got our final stamp and our Compostela.

Ondo Ibili !

Thanks tomorrow will be in Santiago
