This is where to obtain halfway certificate in Sahagun

[camster]

I'm currently in Sahagun and I was told to go and get the halfway Compostela at the Santuario de la Peregrina when I was at the Tourism Office.
Passing the info for those interested.

We went there in May 2022 and they told us to go to the Tourism office. We did get a certificate at the Santuario in 2018.

@camster, information about the certificate was given in a thread you started about Sahagun back in May. Personally I would ask first at the tourism office because you will pass that first. The Santuario de la Peregrina is on a hill near the bridge exiting the town on the CF.

The thread to review:

It is the very reason for my starting this thread yesterday. I went to the Tourism Office first and they sent me to the Sanctuary instead. That is why I'm relaying the information. Of course, the Tourism Office is on the way, anyway. So ask there first I guess.

So where did you end up getting the certificate?

I got it at the Sanctuary. It was 3 euros and I took a chance and asked for a tube. They have cardboard tubes for 1 euro.

Maybe they have days of the week for each place. Thanks for the information.

For what it is worth, when I was there earlier this summer the Santuario (museum) was selling the half way certificate but directing pilgrims to the tourist office for the completion certificate for the Camino de Madrid.

Terribly sorry, I must have missed the sentence saying that the post was passing on the information on where to get the certificate.

Also sometimes thread titles for OPs asking questions look like statements and I think my mind flipped your statement for a question because of that. Could you change the title from "Where ..." to "This is where ..."?

To be fair, I changed the original title from "Carta Peregrina in Sahagun" (which didn't make much sense to me) to "Where to obtain halfway certificate in Sahagun." (note that there was not question mark) I have now changed it to "This is where to obtain halfway certificate in Sahagun."

Don't worry about it

I am in Sahagun and just got my halfway Compostela today at the Santuario de la Peregrina. When I went to the Tourism Office, they directed me there. She also said they have a much prettier stamp there than at the Tourism office. She was right! Currently the Santuario is open 7 days/week but closed 2-4pm. Since the 3 EU includes the museum, you cannot enter 15 mins before closing.
