    Registering as a group: individual certificates or one per group?

    Hi there. My parents and I will be walking the last 100km to Santiago de Compostela from Sarria. Just wondering if I register is as a group, will we all get individual certificates, or will there be only 1 per group? Or would it be better to just do a single registration for each of us?

    Do you collect a Compostela?

    Obviously, this is prompted by the current 'Trends in 2023 - Gronze article' thread. We talk about this often on the forum: how many pilgrims do NOT collect a Compostela? So because it's winter in Europe, and most of us are at home rather than on the Camino, it seems like the perfect time to...

    I've searched all over the forum, but can't find an answer. This question is so basic I'm sure it must have been answered. In Santiago where and how do I turn in my credenciales? What time should I plan to arrive? What time is the pilgrim's mass? Is it every day? We have 7 more stages on the...

    Registration form question

    Having a little bit of free time (as there is nothing to do for me in Lugo now, even the cathedral was closed in the afternoon, where I wished to spend some hours in prayer), I tried to fill the registration form for the compostella and got stuck. We (me and my son) are walking the Camino...

    Credential del Peregrino Registration

    Just looking at my credential del Peregrino and I see you have to register. Can I register anytime before I walk or wait until the first day of walk? I'm assuming I just use the QR code to register!
