    The Camino: So much to fear - So little to fear.

    Hear hear. What is needed is advice on where to buy. I came through Madrid on my first trip in 2016 and a large store there whose name I forget had everything I brought with me. !! Next time - if ever click and collect?

    Number of sellos/stamps needed

    :rolleyes:

    Number of sellos/stamps needed

    Re-reading the "rules" I can see that interpretation. The question this raises is how does the Pilgrim Office then give an appropriate certificate of distance? Surely the whole concept of that is based on the assumption that sellos are collected from the starting point onwards. No need for...

    Thanks - I had not come across the Pilgrim Office website before! That was very useful.

    Number of sellos/stamps needed

    Would someone please point me at the authoritative policy for the number of stamps needed to qualify for the compostella when walking. I understood (when I did my camino in 2016) that the rule was: One a day if starting more than 100km distant from SDC Two a day if starting at 100km from SDC...

    THANKS

    Camino 1 Samos to SDC completed at very slow pace on average! Thanks to all who answered questions in this forum during the dreaming/planning stage. Carried a shell for Denise. Time was short so bussed to/from Fisterra. Camino 2 already in planning which will be SDC to Muxia via Fisterra in...

    Wool vs synthetic for?

    Kanga - do you have any suggested Australian brands or do you source it in Spain/Europe??

    Anyone have time to look at my stuff?

    Shells - where can they go?

    Thanks - I had seen other posts about the Cruz and the waste which quite put me off leaving anything there. Given the origin of the tradition are there any shells left at Finisterre to collect - for me I would prefer to do that rather than carry one.

    Shells - where can they go?

    I was reading up on what to do with a Shell carried for Denise. That is clear cut - I deliver the shell to the nominated address. I will be carrying shells in memory of family I have lost. My question is whether there is any custom/tradition of what you do with such shells (not the one you are...

    Which route?

    Thanks that is most interesting. I am fated to start on the CF but hope to make it to Finisterre before my time runs out!!
