Saying that this is a bit of breaking with tradition seems like an understatement. Speechless! SY

Yes. Considering the attention that the Pilgrim Office pays to walking the last 100 km, it seems a curious policy change! It may have taken some real politicking to get that approved!

I actually watched meanwhile the slideshow on the website and it shows clearly the "Certificado", not the Compostela. So perhaps their Multimedia expert that did the website didn't know the difference? Even more puzzling for me is that they seem to discuss to give the online pilgrims an "Indulgencia Plenaria"???

For many years one has been able to print an e-Compostela from the Cathedral website.
I printed one in 2008.

If you would like an E-Compostela you can visit http://www.catedraldesantiago.es

Once you have entered the Cathedral, click on pilgrimage, then on E- Compostela (bottom left hand corner) Type your name in the box and click on English or Latin.
Set your printer to Landscape and you will be able to print out a beautiful e-Compostela with your name on it.

I connected today, only to find out first that the site was over-burdened and I should try later.
45 Minutes later we were told that with 480 people on line the site had indeed been saturated.
Next Sunday, 27th January, the organizers intend to provide space for 500 people.
Note: the discussions are in Castellano, and at times a bit boring. :roll:
