Does anybody know where its possible to get a Pilgrims Pass in Sarria ?

I know you can get it at the albergue in Sarria:

...and I also know some hotels has them at the reservation... but don't count on it. The albergue for sure.

Buen Camino!

We couldn't get one at the albergue when we were there, but got them after the evening mass at the church from the priest.

There is also a pilgrim's center (or there was last year in April) at the entrance of town on the right hand side that had pilgrim passports and extra pages. I don't know if it's still there as I got the impression it might have been for the Holy Year, but they were super helpful and I had a nice conversation with an Irish lad who was working there as part of an exchange program of some sort.

From the Albergue Internacional:

THE PILGRIM CREDENTIAL. YOU CAN GET IT IN SARRIA IN THE CHURCH
CLOSE TO OUR AUBERGUE. IT'S DEPENDS WHAT TIME YOU WILL BE IN SARRIA.

The family that owns the Albergue Internacional has lived all around Europe, so they speak a lot of languages There!

This center was there in both 2009 and 2010. It appeared like they were doing a lot of accommodation assistance from booking rooms to giving maps to albergues, etc.
I did not notice passport issue but would not be surprised....although it would not be a real convenient place for someone starting in Sarria and arriving by bus or train.

I picked up an extra sheet for my passport as I was getting close to having a full set of sellos. The American Pilgrim passports don't have a lot of room for sellos.
