- Time of past OR future Camino
- I'am not perfect, but I'm always myself!!!
...but when watching certain vlog with false info I did some internet searching.
As I know you can only get Compostela if you collect two stamps per day on the last 100 km (walking) BUT:
- 1: there isn't any rule published on Cathedral site (https://oficinadelperegrino.com/en/pilgrimage/the-compostela/) that says it's required that those two stamps should be from different places or that you should stamp your credencial in the middle of the stage (like in Lires on the way from Muxia to Fisterra or vice versa for Muxiana/Fisterrana),
even more...
- 2: this quote says it is possible that you only (ought to) stamp your credencial in albergue at check-in and check-out the next day for each stage: "...you must always get your Credencial stamped at the start and end of each stage, including the corresponding date, to show that the pilgrim has resumed the Way in the same place where they last stopped (i.e. you should always get the stamp at the starting point even though you have already stamped the card in the same place at the end of the previous stage)."
So I guess there's no need to search for sellos while walking during the day unless you are really collecting them for souvenir reasons
