It’s more that there’s zero establishments between towns on the Invierno so to show a pilgrim is moving along one usually obtains new stamps each day and not from the same town where one slept. C Invierno is very rural. Between Rodeiro and Lalin there are no bars or churches (rarely are any open) or anything at all. If I find a sello offered by some abandoned village I’ll post it.On a general note - the sello doesn´t have to be from anywhere special e.g. church or albergue. Spanish businesses are required to have rubber stamps so any bar or shop will do and most of them are happy to oblige.
Congratulations by the way!

I’m close to 1700 km from Le Puy (with 2 additional variant routes) + CF to Ponferrada + Camino de Invierno (I’m on the last 100 km of the C de Invierno now). It’s impossible to get 2 stamps per day between Rodiero and Lalin (I got one at the Carpintieras Albergue today upon arrival) but tomorrow there’s nowhere for a stamp before arriving in Lalin as everything go is closed or rural. So do I get 2 stamps in Lalin to satisfy the last 100 km 2 stamps/day rule? Thanks!
Collette, just show them your pictures. Get as many stamps you can. The time of the year and route, I would think they will be considerate.I’m close to 1700 km from Le Puy (with 2 additional variant routes) + CF to Ponferrada + Camino de Invierno (I’m on the last 100 km of the C de Invierno now).

I think the two stamps a day rule is only for those doing the 100km routes. All others need only one stamp a day at most. If you have taken an exceptionally long route as you have I don’t think you need fret about stamping except perhaps at lodgings.I’m close to 1700 km from Le Puy (with 2 additional variant routes) + CF to Ponferrada + Camino de Invierno (I’m on the last 100 km of the C de Invierno now).

Yes this is what I thought too - although not much on the internet to back it up.I think the two stamps a day rule is only for those doing the 100km routes.

First, I would not worry about two stamps per day after walking that distance. That said, I finished on the Camino Invierno this Summer and there were plenty of places to get stamps the entire way.I’m close to 1700 km from Le Puy (with 2 additional variant routes) + CF to Ponferrada + Camino de Invierno (I’m on the last 100 km of the C de Invierno now).

It’s more that there’s zero establishments between towns on the Invierno so to show a pilgrim is moving along onevusualky obtains new stamps each day and not from the same town where one slept and again another stamp when departing the next morning. C Invierno is very rural. Between Rodeiro and Lalin there are no bats or churches (rarely are any open) or anything. If I find a sello offered by some abandoned village I’ll post it.
Yes officially it’s 2 sellos/day from the last 100 km given the Compostela is given for only the LAST 100km not for distance. Anyway, I managed more than 2 today.I don't think you need two stamps per day for last 100km if you started in Le Puy? We double checked this as I thought the same as you (I started SJPdP). I certainly didn't get two a day for last 100km and there was no problem with getting my credential.
I could be wrong though. . .
***edit - and I am wrong according to Google searches!! However, me and my two friends (they actually started in Poitiers) didn't get the two a day on the last 100km, but as mentioned received our certs no probs. But obviously best to get two where possible according to rules.
Yes, we found the same - we were not able to get two stamps on this section, simply because there weren't any services along the way at all. Daniel, at the pilgrim support shop in Lalin, gave us 4 of his special stamps but I knew only one of them could be counted. I was concerned about the lack of a stamp from somewhere else on this day too but it wasn't questioned at the Pilgrim Office. Wishing you well as you finish your wonderful pilgrimage.It’s impossible to get 2 stamps per day between Rodiero and Lalin

You walked in summer, at this time (since Oct 31st) very little open except in big towns.First, I would not worry about two stamps per day after walking that distance. That said, I finished on the Camino Invierno this Summer and there were plenty of places to get stamps the entire way.
It’s off season and two days now there are zero services and sometimes zero people all day. I’m almost done so I’m sure all will work out.I walked that stretch in 2009. Several cafes and bars told me that they did not have an official rubber stamp. So I asked them to simply sign and date my credential and that was acceptable at the Office of Pilgrims. I entered Santiago de Compostela on November 8th, 2009 (so it was off season as well as being a route with few pilgrims in general). I'm sure that you will be fine! As others have posted, "do the best you can."
You read the original post & understood the issue.Muddy and flooded farm tracks for the day for you, I'm afraid! Definitely nowhere to get one along the way, but two sellos from the same town.. either town, is ok!
Thank you Peter, yes 3 days more and my regular “happy” meter will read “joyfully happy”. My prayers on this Camino has been answered and I return to Ottawa with a heart full of hope and a deeper faith. Thank you for the kind words, Colette@Colette Z , 1700 kms is a significant achievement. Especially given the weather you (and all the pilgrims out there) experienced last month. To say I have never been overly fond of days of rain - even when at home, sitting in front of the fire - is an understatement. Respect.
A couple more days and you'll be in Santiago. At which point I presume you will live up to your avatars name - a "Happy Pilgrim" !
Don’t worry, I had the same problem when I walked the Invierno about 2 months ago. Not enough places opened to get 2 stamps. It was fineTOPIC NOW CLOSED: close to 1700 km from Le Puy (with 2 additional variant routes) + CF to Ponferrada + Camino de Invierno (I’m on the last 100 km of the C de Invierno now).
