Compostela for Camino de Torres?

[Old Hillwalker]

I will be walking the Camino de Torres from Salamanca to Santiago in May 2022. Does this Camino qualify for the award of a Compostela once I arrive in Santiago?

For those who are asking: Camino Torres, what? See below.

Yes, it wil, since you will have walked more than 100 kilometers before arriving in Santiago. No worries!

The Camino Torres joins the Caminho Portugues Central in Ponte de Lima, so you will enter Santiago having walked well more than 100 kms on a route recognized by the Pilgrims Office.

Thank you

When I did it they would only give me a distance certificate from Almeida which stipulated that it was the Camino Portuguese.

Just in case this distinction matters to @Old Hillwalker, @RodiaRob’s picture shows a distance certificate, not the Compostela. The Compostela will not indicate which camino you have walked, but you can always buy one of these distance certificates (3€, I think) and the staff will put in the kms walked, starting place, and the name of the route you want it to show.

Is this what you are referring to? Issued at same time?

That second photo is the Compostela while the first with the noted distance and Camino name is the distance certificate provided at an extra charge.
