    The "distance certificate" - something to consider

    Ok, so earlier this year I walked as part of a group to Santiago along the Norte. Every time is different, which is wonderful. One of my dearest friends didn't really care about the compostela... she wanted the distance certificate to show how far she walked... she had a detailed journal that...

    Best Del Norte stamps?

    Specifically would like to hear about people's favorite or coolest credencial stamps in Galicia but anywhere else on the Del Norte route too

    Need emergency credencial

    Currently walking the Del Mar and stopped near Fox in driving rain. All things, including credencial, are soaked. Credencial is destroyed. Any chance to get a new one in Fox or at the cathedral at Mondonedo?

    Your preferred sello (stamp)

    Which is, in your opinion, the best "sello" you have ever received ? Both considering the esthetic and the difficulty in obtaining it.

    Displaying Compostelas

    I now have three Compostelas and two other certificates of completion from my caminos. I’m wondering if there are any creative ways to display them and also to display my passports. Just framing them and putting them up on my den wall is an option but I’m looking for other ways as well. Any...

    Do you get a Compostela if you take the boat to Padron?

    We’ve read that if you take the boat on the VE to Padron you will not receive a Compostella even if you’ve started way back - such as in Coimbra as we are planning…

    Just finished my Camino Frances with 40km yesterday but can’t get Compostela or Certificate of Distance

    Hey guys! I said goodbye to my earthly father (he died after I had planned the Camino and I scattered his Ashe’s in a pringles can on the cliff between foncebadon and Cruz de Ferro). I discovered some universal truths and found God in Arzúa after having been blessed with multiple miracles (a...

    If you default the 100k rule... Cotolaya is here for you!

    If for whatever reason you can't fulfill the 100k rule to get your compostela or if the pilgrim's office line is too long, don't despair! Thanks to a tip from @mazzarina I learnt that the Convento de San Francisco de Santiago issues a similar certificate but they are not as stringent with the...

    Number of Credentials needed

    How many credentials do you need if you walk multiple Caminos in a row? Can you just keep using the same one? For example, Camino Madrid, to Camino San Salvador, to Camino Norte, to Santiago.

    Detour during last 100km & comp.

    If I were to detour and walk from melide to sabrado to visit the monestary and then walk back to melide to continue along the Frances, would that jeopardize qualifying for the compestetla?

    Muxiana certificate, without going to Finisterre

    Hi All, I was wondering if anyone had walked from Santiago to Muxía and obtained a Muxiana certificate upon their arrival. I have seen advice that you have to walk via Finisterre/Lires to qualify for a Muxiana; is it possible to go straight to Muxía and still obtain a Muxiana? Many Thanks, Paul

    Getting Camino Cert at the Pilgrims Office Santiago

    Hi, hoping to get our certs on Tuesday Sept 6th or early morning the next day at the Pilgrims Office. . I see you can apply online and get a QR code to present at the office, but I think you have to apply online at least 3 weeks before you visit the office. Also one of us walked about 70km...

    Using a second Credencial

    I am walking the CP from Lisbon next month and have my credencial already. I notice there is not enough space to get stamps each day and I’m aware that the last 100 K is the important part but is it ok to pick up a second credencial and use it after I fill up the first. I do like the idea of...
