Hey guys, I have been lurking for awhile and have learned a lot of useful things from this board! I am beginning the camino del norte in San Sebastian in September.

Does anyone know where I can get a credential there? (Sorry I think I have seen this on a different post somewhere, but I can't find it) Or should I just order one from the American friends of St. James, for some reason that seems less authentic or something to me.

Thanks!

While I can't guarantee that this information is still correct, but I have read that the Albergue juvenil "Ondarreta La Sirena" in San Sebastian has credencials. If not, you could ask at the Cathedral, Tourist Information Office, or Ayuntamiento (Town Hall).
