    Pilgrim's certificate Pedronía from Padron

    Boa tarde peregrinos, you can get a pilgrim´s certificate in Padron, the PEDRONÍA. All you need is a stamp from the church in Padron in your credential. Then go to the tourism office and collect your certificate. Sorry,today I was told, you can get it in the church as well.

    Post a picture of your credential!

    I'm interested in seeing the different credentials issued in different countries. I've ordered all of mine from Ivar, and I really liked the colorful one that used on my first Camino in 2016. I used the current, more somber looking credential the last two years. What does your credential...

    On getting a compostela

    This topic has been discussed ad Infinitum, but I thought I’d add our experience to the mix. The previous four times we have queued, handed over our handmade credentials with a stamp for every day walked and received a compostela. Yesterday our group of five approached the five volunteers in...

    Stamps on the Camino Portugues

    Simple question. I'm walking the Camino Portugues from Lisbon to Santiago (via the coast) in September. Is it similar to the Camino Santiago with regard to stamps? It may sound a bit silly but I think that one of the best parts of the walk are the stamps in the credencial. I ended up framing...

    SJPDP Credencial Question -

    Having bought some stuff from Ivar recently I am in possession of the new style, 'official' Credencials as issued by the Cathedral in Santiago. Exhibit A. They have one downside, as others have pointed out. The whole of one side is taken up by mini maps. Which might make a nice souvenir, but...

    Passport stamps

    I started my camino in August this year and walked from St Jean pied de Port to Logrono, I am wondering if the stamps collected on the passport have an expiry date? How long do I have before I need to resume my walk?
