sillydoll said:No - not at all. You only need two stamps per day for the last 100km - not all the hundreds of km that come before!
And yes, you do qualify.
Tia Valeria said:That is sad, but hopefully you will return to complete your Camino. Check with the Pilgrim Office, or with Johnnie here as to whether you can pick up from where you left (had your last sello) when you return, or whether you need to start 100km out.

sillydoll said:Oh dear!!! Then I have been misleading people for over ten years!! I think you should notify the CSJ as well because our information (CSJ of RSA) came from their webisite:

Many people I know who have only walked short sections of the Camino - not the entire last 100km - have received the 'Tourist' certificate because they did not qualify for the Compostela.
I too have received it after admitting that I didn't walk the whole way on the Camino Ingles when we got a taxi from el Ferrol to Neda and started walking from there.
So what you are saying is that people who do not walk the last 100km should not register their walk at the Pilgrims Office at all?

methodist.pilgrim.98 said:I was looking for a solution that is simple, straightforward and could be set up in a very short space of time.
Philip - I'm afraid that the warning that pilgrims should not get sellos from bars is a camino myth.

In December 2010 I saw a lady have her request for a Compostella rejected because her credential was only stamped at bars. She was pretty upset.
I thought you yourself had posted a warning on this issue.
I am sure that such a note has also appeared in the CSJ bulletin.
