This summer me and a friend will walk camino de Madrid from Madrid to Sahagun and from there to Leon. In Leon we will walk further on along Camino del Salvador to Oviedo.
Is it possible to buy the special credencial for Camino del Salvador in Leon?

The Salvador credential is available at the albergue in Leon. I think they charge two euros. It's great because it has a lot of information about the accommodations, stages, etc. Here's what the Salvador looks like today:

This is a spectacular camino even when it's not snowing!

Buen camino, Laurie

That was good to know, I didn't know there was a special credencial for that route.
I'm thinking about walking that route, too. I thought you used the same all the way.
Can you walk Madrid- Sahagun- Leon with the same credential you got in Madrid, before that?
And if you wish to continue to Santiago after Oviedo?
What credential do you use then?

Hi, Susanna,
You absolutely can use whatever credential you want to use when you are walking the Salvador, just like any other Camino. This credential is one made by Ender and his group -- here's a picture of it

If you are running out of space in your credential when you get to Leon, you might want to get this one instead of another one, but it really doesn't matter at all.

Buen camino, Laurie

Ok now I'm with you. :D
I thought that was something new. A new credencial for every route.
But it really looks nice with lots of information on it.
Think I want one too!

Thank you Laurie for putting up with all stupid questions. :wink:

Buen camino
