Hope the bites get better real soon!
Good luck

Hi Dania,
I imagine you can get a credential in Xunta albergue in Ourense, as its the beginning of 100km camino to Santiago and will be fairly popular starting point.....or maybe the cathedral in Ourense. Im walking this route next month.....but I already have a credential, I picked one up in...
