Getting your first sello

[FionaC]

I’m waking the Primitivo next month and will arrive in Oviedo late, starting my Camino early the next day. Is it a requirement to have a sello from the starting point of your Camino? I already have my credentials. Thanks, Fiona

You will be able to get a sello at your accommodation in Oviedo. It's definitely nice to have a stamp marking your starting point, but it's only required if it's within the last 100 km.

If you belong to a local church you can get a stamp before you leave home. The cathedral in Oviedo has a lovely stamp and it is worth a visit, especially the Camara Santa - the Holy Chamber - which holds a number of ancient Christian relics including the Sudarium.

I regularly stamp my parishioners' first sello in the church before they leave. Even if you aren't Catholic, you might ask the local priest in Xabia if he would be willing to do that for you. I bet he will!

Thanks, that’s a lovely idea!
