Type 2 Pilgrim
I'm Type 2, controlled by pills. I also take a diuretic pill for high blood pressure. I walked from Sarria in May.

Compostela or Passport: Which Means More to You?
When I was walking, it was the Compostela. I couldn't imagine going all that way and not receiving one. But now that I'm home, it's the credential. I remember each sello.

The right credencial?
The website to which you linked does not list any authorized issuers in the United States, but American Pilgrims claims to be authorized. I hope so, since that's where I ordered mine to walk CF in May. Perhaps the list on the official website is incomplete...- Nate Bissonette

Camino exploitation big business ?
If the Frances feels like the interstate with franchise food and chain hotels but you would prefer Route 66 with Mom-and-Pop diners and 10-room motels advertising "Color TV in Every Room," then get off the Frances and walk the Primitivo, the Ingles or the Plata. True, you'll have to work harder...- Nate Bissonette
