I am currently in Seville and just got my credencial and since things seem to have changed so much from what others have posted in other threads I thought I would add this.
I went to the bar "Taberna Miami" at 25 San Jacinto for the credencial as indicated in other threads here on the forum but surprisingly they knew nothing about it. At the same address is the Association des Amigos del Camino de Santiago but I could not find anything anywhere on any of the doors indicating where they were. No one in the bar Miami seemed to know either.
Back at the Cathedral I found a security guard in the Iglesia del Sagario. This is not the main Cathedral but a smaller door located to the left of the Puerta del Bautismo which itself is just to the left of the main door of the Cathedral, the Puerta de la Asuncion. This is on the street where the tram passes so you can´t miss it.
The security guard told me to go this hotel and get the credencial:
Hotel Simon
Calle Garcia de Vinuesa, 19
41001 Sevilla

It is literally 120 meters from the Cathedral. You exit the Iglesia del Sagario and cross the tram tracks and turn right. You just go down the first street on the left. It´s 100 yards or meters from there. They are ready and waiting in the Hotel Simon with credencials and you simply fill out a form with your information, pay 2 euros, and they give you an offical credencial specific to the Camino de la Plata with 40 places for stamps. On the front of it it says Amigos del Camino de Santiago Via de la Plata and on the back there is a large map of the Via de la Plata.
Once I got this credencial I then walked back to the same security guard in the Iglesia del Sagario in the Cathedral and he led me to a corner where he had a stamp. He stamped it with the offical Cathedral stamp and that was that.
This is what I did today, 6 February 2013. I hope this helps anyone else arriving in Seville without a credencial.
