Where can I get my credencial stamped in Vila Franca de Xira? Is there a master list of stamp locations for the Camino Portugues (Lisbon to Santiago)?

I apologize for this completely theoretical, superfluous post, take it with a pinch of humor. I must admit that this question has preoccupied me every time, from the completion of my second Camino to the sixth this year: If, after crossing the motorway bridge, I reach the city limits of...

Hi, I am in Portomarin after arriving yesterday. from Ferrious. Due to the weather and having a horrible cold I am spending the day here to start walking again tomorrow . Sorry if this is dumb question but do you I need to collect my credencial stamps today as I’m not planning on leaving the...

If I lose my compostela, can I get it reissued?

OK. Now I know this topic may have come up many times. And I tried the search engine. But didnt come up with a definitive answer. So Im going to ask it anyway. Now I did the Camino Frances back it 2015. Doing the whole journey from SJPdP to SdC. Upon reaching O`Cebreio, conversation came up...

Hello! I'm in the tentative planning stages for a mid-January (brrr!) camino. Previously in the past, I've picked up credentials in either Le Puy or had one mailed to me from Casa Ivar. I'm deciding between SJPdP, Valcarlos or Roncesvalles) and I wonder...does the Roncesvalles albergue sells...

Hello, I am currently at Lavacolla and leaving tomorrow 11am to catch the bus to Sarria. Is that possible for me to get camino passport so I can get a stamp? I heard it is only available at big churches at Santiago de Compostela? Do you think it is worth it for me to take a bus tomorrow morning...

Hi, Not sure if this is possible. I walked my first Camino in November of 2015 and arrived in Santiago in Early December. Like most first time pilgrims I was excited to get my Compostela. I have since misplaced both my Compostela and Pilgrim Passport from that Camino. My first Camino was a...

Any advice on where to buy a credential in León? Many thanks in advance!

Good morning from León. I have now filled up my first credential and tomorrow need to start my second. I am not sure how to fill out the first page. Would the start date and start point be the same as in my first credential? I started in Logroño on 23 Sept. So I should put that in my second, not...

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...

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

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?

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

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...

According to this article, more Compostelas have been issued thus far in 2022 than the previous record set in 2019 when 347,578 pilgrims received Compostelas. Halfway through Wednesday, September 21st the number was already at 348,230.

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…

I have the URL for pre registering for QR code for obtaining my Compestela. The section of nationality doesn’t have America/United States..has anyone come across this or am I not seeing it? Thank you!

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 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...
