To obtain a Credencial try any municipal or Xunta albergue along the route. For example in the Barbadelo albergue. Until you are successful finding a Credential use a piece of paper to collect the necessary 2 stamps per day as proof of your passage. Be sure to have the stamps dated also.

Good luck and Buen camino!

The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
We needed one last year and could not find one! We did try bars, churches, albergues ... no one had one. However, in Boente, in the far albergue on the left hand side, with boots as flower pots outside there is a man who might have a copy of the blank spaces inside the credencial! If he does, it's easy enough to attach it to the credencial when you do find one. Good luck and buen camino!
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
I always buy several when I reach Santiago and have a spare on me. I can thus help out friends. Those from Santiago this year are frightfully smart with shiny black covers. Not so sure about the new pilgrim office... lacks the charm of the Rua Valor.
