credencial/sellos/compostela

Hello, I’m walking the Camino del Norte at the moment (started in San Sebastián). I want to leave the route at Arzua and take a taxi to join friends finishing the portugues route so we can all walk into santiago together. I will end up walking the same distance (joining them at Caldas do Reis)...

I have obtained a pilgrim passport from the Canadian pilgrim group, and have ordered a special one from Ivor. My camino will start in porto in September. My question is do I need to go to the cathedral in porto and do anything or can I just start and collect Stamps?

Hi All I will be starting my first Camino on the 2nd September 2022 walking from Porto to Santiago on the Coastal route. I have a few questions as regards the Credencial del Peregrino. 1. Whilst I am setting out from Porto on the morning of the 2nd September I will be getting the Metro to...

Hello. My daughter and I are first time Camino pilgrims and would like to achieve the 100kms required for the certificate. Any suggestions for how we can safely adjust our route : A Coruña - Bruma - Sigüeiro - Santiago to include at least an additional 27km...

Hi everyone I'm hoping to start the coastal route in October. Does anyone know if the Albergue de Santa Clara sells credencials? Thanks Mark

Do I need to collect stamps on my final day in order to receive the compostela? I have about 2 hours of walking tomorrow and don't plan on stopping until I arrive at Santiago. My hotel for this last night took up the final free space in my credential. Had I been paying more attention I would...

After some post-Camino waffling about I found a semi-decent frame for my Compostela at Michaels* this week and am quite pleased with it. I walked in with plans to have a mat cut to A4 paper size** and put it in a larger frame. But lo, there was a sale on the unusual 9x12" ("internet print...

Hi everyone, I've only recently joined this group and have to say that I'm benefitting greatly from everyone's advice. We're leaving in 1 week for our trek up the Portuguese route. Here's my question...I've heard that there are long lines to get the Compostela. Since we're likely to be...

I just finished my first Camino. Sarria➡️Santiago. 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 This forum was the absolute best. Thank you Ivar, moderators and members. I plan to be in Santiago for a couple of days. I have my certificate of completion and distance. I “think” I read somewhere of a small convent/church in Santiago...

My husband and I are walking the Camino Ingles - in England. We started in Reading, and will end in Southampton. At that point we will travel to Spain and walk from Ferrol to Santiago. The stamps we are getting in England are large - we're averaging 3 to a page. The booklet is quickly...

Wildfires permitting, we leave Lisbon on August 9 and our intention is to walk to Fatima, then across to Tomar, thus rejoining the Camino and walking on through Porto and taking the coastal and perhaps Espiritual routes to Santiago. My question is this... in Fatima is there a certificate of...

Hi. If I stop at a private Hostel or Hotel along the Camino Frances route will I still be able to get a stamp in my Pilgrims passport or do I have to seek out an appropriate Pilgrims Albergue. Thanks.

Hello all apologize if I am posting this in the wrong place. I am 7 days from finishing the Camino Frances having started in SJDPP on the 29 of May. My credential was not stamped by the issuing organisation. Does this matter? Appreciate it is a bit late to ask but hopefully it is not an...

I will be arriving in Santiago on August 11th. I went on the Oficina del Peregrino Website earlier today and got a QR Code, which I saved. Was this too far in advance, and will I need to secure the QR code again as my arrival date is almost two months away? Much thanx for the help - Steve

Hi All, One question, is it necessary to use a credential on caminos. A compostela is not real important for me. Thanks

Our first credenciales are full! And we’re now close enough that we’ll need two sellos per day starting tomorrow. We have two extra we brought from home. The answer to these questions are probably obvious but I haven’t found them anywhere. What should we do about the information in the front...

A friend sent me this photo from Pamplona this week... Handy if you arrive and need to get a credential outside of office hours! Great idea.

If anyone has framed their Compostela, Certificate of Distance and Credencial, do you recall what size frame you ordered for each? Thanks, Michael.

Seems the way my stages mapped out I will be spending the night in A Balsa and the following one in Villei For the sake of an argument let's say that I will get my only cello del Dia on eve of June 15 when I arrive to albergue On June 16 I start walking and reasonably guaranteed 1 cello for...
