Arriving in Santiago what is the process to get in the que for the compostela?

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
You can pre-register at this link

If you choose not to pre-register you will be asked to enter your information at a kiosk. You will then be given a number - when your number is announced you go to the desk to receive your Compostela.

Here's the location of the Pilgrim's Office.

 
Use your smart phone to register in advance online, at the link provided above. The wait at the office will be nil.

Oh, and BTW, many folks have told me that the "queue" moves so fast that one should use the toilet FIRST, so you do not lose your place in line. Even on very heavy arrival days, the line is rarely more than 30 minutes long - ever.

Hope this helps.

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
