Shell in Irun

[Lisa.camino]

Hi! Does anyone know where can I get the shell in Irun? I am going to start Camino del norte from Irun and I got credential, but I can't find any info about shell ...

Regarding to 'Buen Camino' which is Camino app, the place which is call The passionist sell a credential. Does anyone know if the passionist have a shall or not?

Thank you!

I don’t know but if no one else does, I have two suggestions: ask around once you get there (at your hotel/albergue etc) or buy a shell before you leave (if you have time and can find one). I tend to be rough on my equipment so I bought a pewter scallop shell before I left for my pack (survived a few tumbles)


and an actual one in Finisterre

Buen Camino!

What I did: Irun is a seaside town with a number of fish shops. They're bound to have empty shells. That's how I got mine.

Worst case scenario:
You can get to Santiago without a shell. If need be....

Tapas bars have scallop tapas. Why not enjoy eating one and take the shell.

There will be plenty of opportunities to find shells along the way. Many of the Albergues and other shops have them.
All I got in Irun were my walking sticks ... ❤

Traditionally one picked up the shell on arrival. Go on, strike a blow for authenticity!

to paraphrase Clemenza: eat the scallops, take the shell...
