    Last leg of Camino Franćes.

    Hi! I travelled the Franćes last year from St. Jean pied de Port. I got as far as Portomarin before I fell and broke my hand. My question is: When I go back this year to finish, must I start in Sarria or may I start in Portomarin to receive my Compostela Certificate?

    Getting my Compostela home undamaged

    I’m days away from Santiago and looking for information on how to get my Compostela home undamaged. Are they issued with an envelope or is there a place nearby to buy a mailing tube or other that I can bring on an airplane?

    I plan to cycle a bit of an unconventional route, from Santander but cutting south through the Picos de Europa mountains (I'm a glutton for punishment), and only partially overlapping with the Camino Primitivo/Norte. I'll be camping most of the time and will carry all my stuff with me...

    I had to discontinue my Camino at Frómista due to injuries. Can I still get my certificate/diploma when I get to Santiago another time/year if I pick up from where I left? Will it be the same certificate as if I hade done the Camino in one go, or is there anything I need to do?
