Camino Passport

Hi
Does anyone know if I can obtain a "credential" in South Africa or how to obtain it before I reach Barcelona. I will travel by train to Pamplona from where I will begin the pilgrimage. Any help?
Thanks in advance.
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
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.
I know that our South African forum member sillydoll will be able to help you with this query: - I have let her know about your post...

Hola Marc,
You can get a South Africa credential by joining the CSJ of SA. Membership is R30 pa and a credential costs R60. You can also order a cloth badge and/or a metal pin.
Visit the website: http://www.csjofsa.za.org and click on Membership Form (right side) to download a form. The CSJ olso assist members obtain a visa by providing them with a letter for the Visa Section confirming that you are a member and will be doing el camino. Email them if you require a letter.
The credentials and letters are processed in Cape Town and you could collect it from Helen Pickering or have it posted to you.
Buen camino!

Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

Hi Sillydoll and Hamilton
Thank you very much for the info. I will join here in SA as it is a lot cheaper and easier.

Thanks again. I can't wait
