    Cats on the Camino

    Albergue de Peregrinos, A Fonsagrada’ Sept ‘2022 The night watch receptionist at the Albergue sleeping on the job! He did get up to see us all off, though!

    Getting my Compostela home undamaged

    If you decide to opt for the cardboard tube, you can wrap it in an T-shirt/towel, to give it a bit more protection in your pack! Last year I took some bubble wrap, which is also useful for packing any fragile gifts! You could also just use a poly pocket, as suggested, I used one of these when...

    Credencial do peregrino for Finisterre/Fisterra and Muxia

    As already mentioned you can use the same credential as before, if you wish, however the free Finisterre/Muxia credential from the Santiago tourist office is rather nice! The credential includes images of some of the buildings/sites you can collect the sello from! It also has a coloured map...

    Buying credenciales for subsequent caminos

    I wanted the “Holy Year” edition for the walking the Primitivo in September! They were totally sold out in the online store, but I managed to get one from a Dutch Pilgrim website, Camino Confort! I thought for a “Special Edition” the credential was a little disappointing! The cover art was very...

    Strangest Thing on Your Camino?

    Wished her a “Good Morning”, before I realised!

    Strangest Thing on Your Camino?

    Not so much saw, but heard! I think it was around 7am after I’d left Lugo! I can’t remember the exact location, but I think it was a fare bit from the city I was approaching near a major road and could suddenly hear really loud classical music coming from somewhere! I couldn’t work out were it...

    Unusual places to collect sellos/stamps

    It may have been the same guys I saw in September, they were selling more souvenir stuff rather than food and drink! There was a steady queue of pilgrims waiting to get their credential stamped with the wax sello! I found the credential below with a wax sello in Santiago, it’s the back of an...

    Unusual places to collect sellos/stamps

    I use one of the plastic envelopes that Ivar sells! Keeps your credential nice and safe! I keep it in my day bag or in my zipped cargo pocket! I tend to get a lot of my sellos when am out exploring so you’re right about missing out on some unique stamps!

    Unusual places to collect sellos/stamps

    Nice! I imagine a university sello would be quite attractive!

    Unusual places to collect sellos/stamps

    For difficulty level, you definitely win!! I would have loved to have heard that conversation!! Was the stamp worth it?

    Unusual places to collect sellos/stamps

    I think this is a great idea! Would never of thought of getting an actual postal stamp, along with a sello! Also considering the inked stamps tend to fade after a while, the Camino stamps would still look great!

    Unusual places to collect sellos/stamps

    Awesome! Would look great on a T-shirt! I can see a whole merchandise line with this branding!

    ATM Choices in Spain

    As JabbaPapa mentioned this fees can vary depending on the type of card/account you have! I used a Chase debit card for cash withdrawals this year, free foreign cash withdrawals +1% cash back, but also had a Revolut and Monzo card! I remember trying a few ATMs, Santander, BBVA, Abanca, and...

    Camping on the Camino?

    I met 2 people using tents while walking the Primitivo in September! A French pilgrim who had walked from his small town in Burgundy. I walked a few stages with him, he was a Blacksmith who wasn’t sticking to a set walking plan. He would walk as far as liked and then just set up his tent! He...

    Withdrawing Euros

    I am currently planning on using my Revolut or Chase debit card for most of my spending, however I always like to have a few Euros as a back up! Looking at the current rates, if pre booked & collected, they are lower than the exchange rates offered by the cards mentioned! I would be interested...
