Grab one at any given opportunity and then you won't get caught out.Is there any requirement that the first stamp of the day in the last 100k is from the same place as the last stamp of the previous day to confirm I picked up where I left off? Hello, everybody, from Villaviciosa. Starting the Primitivo tomorrow, Sunday, 22 May.
Totally agree. I’m thinking about the albergue the night before and morning of next day, for example. Or somewhere close by in the same community.I have my own stamp. It's not good form to just walk into somewhere, get a stamp, walk out and not buy anything. Part of the point is to contribute to the local economy, even if it's 30c for a Penguin biscuit.
I was looking forward to scone, I hope that’s still on the table! Scone and stamp pleaseI have my own stamp. It's not good form to just walk into somewhere, get a stamp, walk out and not buy anything. Part of the point is to contribute to the local economy, even if it's 30c for a Penguin biscuit.
You'll easily get 3 stamps a day, you don't need to worry whether the albergue is stamping for that evening or the following day (I think that's the question you were asking, and I have been asked each time on the inglés). The office in Santiago knows the stamps and won't question you if it looks OK.Totally agree. I’m thinking about the albergue the night before and morning of next day, for example.

Yep, just give me a day's notice. Hopefully the clotted cream is still OK, I've not opened it yet. We'll see.I was looking forward to scone, I hope that’s still on the table! Scone and stamp please
That seems very peculiar. When I finished my Via de la Plata walk in February I decided just to ask for a sello rather than a Compostela. The security man at the door took my credencial and returned with it stamped a few moments later. No form filling at all.I hadn't filled in my name and details at the beginning even though all I wanted was a stamp, not a compostela. They were quite insistent on the form filling and I didn't have my reading glasses, though how I could have passed this onto someone else I'm not sure.
That's only a requirement if you have left and return later to recommence your walk/ride, not if you are walking the next day.Is there any requirement that the first stamp of the day in the last 100k is from the same place as the last stamp of the previous day to confirm I picked up where I left off?

I'm expecting it tomorrow to be the same as 2 weeks ago when I finished the portugues. Officious man in mask says no mask no entry, fill in website from QR code, work out that United Kingdom begins with an R, get in, get deli counter ticket and wait to be served.That seems very peculiar.

I take this comment refers specifically to cafes and the like. There are plenty of other places where I have gotten stamps like churches, museums etc where it is a perfectly acceptable. I also think that if a cafe or restaurant includes on its advertising hoardings that it has a pilgrim stamp, it is offering that as a service, and I don't feel any obligation to make a purchase.It's not good form to just walk into somewhere, get a stamp, walk out and not buy anything.
You make a good point. A lot of the cafés on the Inglés have the parochial stamp as well as their own stamp.I take this comment refers specifically to cafes and the like.

Right, I saw two pilgrims come into the oficina de tourismo today in Villaviciosa, get stamped, and leave.I take this comment refers specifically to cafes and the like.

You have your own stamp? A bit confusing...I have my own stamp. It's not good form to just walk into somewhere, get a stamp, walk out and not buy anything. Part of the point is to contribute to the local economy, even if it's 30c for a Penguin biscuit.
He has a cafe/tea shop between Sarria and Portomarin serving British foods and drinks!! So he will stamp your credential… Hmmm I wonder if there will be buntings for the jubilee???You have your own stamp? A bit confusing...

I too am confused by this. Would you clarify what you mean by your own stamp? Do you use it in your credential in lieu of a getting a stamp from more conventional outlets like cafes and churches? If you do how can a personal sello be proof of the Compostela requirements? Just wondering. Maybe I have completely misunderstood what you have written.You have your own stamp? A bit confusing...

Ahhhh with a little explanation the world just unfolds in front of one's eyes!!I run a donativo tea shop at Vilachá, 94km. I've run out of Tunnocks Tea Cakes, but there are plenty of Wagon Wheels, Penguins, etc.
On the Francés at 94km just before Portomarin.Ahhhh with a little explanation the world just unfolds in front of one's eyes!!
Where is Vilacha? Is it on or near the Sanabria? I should PM you haha

When you get to the Francis go back to Oviedo and retrace your steps.Is there any requirement that the first stamp of the day in the last 100k is from the same place as the last stamp of the previous day to confirm I picked up where I left off? Hello, everybody, from Villaviciosa. Starting the Primitivo tomorrow, Sunday, 22 May.
YesCasa San Xulián?
Yes. When i walked the first time a few years back i met a guy who had walked from Sarria and had almost filled out his entire credential. like every place that he could get a stamp, he got a stamp. Fair play to him, I guess he was making memories and maybe maximising contact with people in the short time he was walking.Are there tales of people getting 5 or 10 or 20 stamps a day and filling out many credentials?
Not if it is the previous day. However, if there is a break in your Camino anywhere in the last 100 km (e.g. you stop at Arzua and return there to complete your Camino the next year), then you would want to get the first stamp of the resumed Camino in the same place you left off.Is there any requirement that the first stamp of the day in the last 100k is from the same place as the last stamp of the previous day to confirm I picked up where I left off?

I have my own stamp, too. Not all stamps are from churches and albergues, and places of business. On my last walk of the Camino Frances I saw plenty of individuals set up by the side of the path offering stamps (sometimes with little tables, once out of a van). One of my regrets from that Camino was the number of people I hadn't exchanged contact info with. So I had a stamp made up with a drawing of me (the same I use for my avatar), my email address, and the word Ultreia! to make it easier for me to exchange contact info on future Caminos. It is light, and was a fun addition to my next Camino Portugues.You have your own stamp? A bit confusing...
