Hello , everything is already stated . I wish you well and a Buen Camino , Peter .Hi, I am about to start my first Camino (on monday)
I have already gotten a Pilgrims passport and filled it out. My question is this;
Is it then enough just to have it stamped at the hotel I'll be staying at in SJPP or do I need to register at the Pilgrims office to "certify" that I started my camino there ?
All the best

Put simply, if you have two stamps a day, you will get the compostella. If not, you rely on the individual in the pilgrim office making an assessment of your bona fides, with the attendant risk they will deny it to you.so... if someone does the whole CF, or a large part of it, (has plenty of stamps etc) I can't put it differently then "you don't need two stamps a day".
No need to wait for a bar to open just to get your second stamp or whatever.
Yes I totally agree, that's my first post in this thread.Put simply, if you have two stamps a day, you will get the compostella. If not, you rely on the individual in the pilgrim office making an assessment of your bona fides, with the attendant risk they will deny it to you.
If, by chance, the Pilgrim Office volunteer does get all official on you and says that you didn't qualify for compostela because you didn't have two stamps per day over the last 100km as stated on the credencial, website and wall of the SJPdP Pilgrim's office, don't worry. Just tell them that Martin and Jellycat said it was okay. That should change their attitude.But on the other hand stamps are not Pokemons, you don't have to catch them all. Stamp a day before Sarria, 2 stamps a day after Sarria, thats all you need.
Plus that is not that difficult as some actual and experienced try to scare the beginners: you get 1 stamp where you stay overnight and 1 (or more) where you eat/drink/use wc/attend a mas (sorry to put the last 2 in a row, but thats life). Stamps lay around unsupervised, go and use, only on a chain so they don't walk along with anybody.Make life easier for yourself and the volunteers by trying to get the 2 stamps/day after Sarria.
