I'm not sure,,, but I don't think you can get a Compostela by walking to Finesterre, Muxia and back to Santiago,,,, if that is what you are thinkingSo I have the option of #1or #2? If i could get them at the same time i wouldnt have to wait in line twice, right?
According to previous threads, you can receive a Compostela for the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela from Finisterre (via Muxia). The towns of Finisterre and Muxia also issue their own certificates.I'm not sure,,, but I don't think you can get a Compostela by walking to Finesterre, Muxia and back to Santiago,,,, if that is what you are thinking

I'm very happy to learn more everyday,,, and I'm often wrongYeah I've done it. If you walk either Finisterre - Muxia - Santiago or Muxia - Finisterre - Santiago both are over 100km. Get two sellos per day of course.

Hi Tom, thanks so much for your very concise answer. If i want a Compostela for the Camino out to Finisterre-Muxia and back to Santiago where would i get my 1st sello and would it be the same 2stamps a day requirement?To be clear, you can walk anywhere you want, on any Camino route, and in any order you choose. HOWEVER, one can ONLY qualify for the Compostela if one has walked the FINAL 100 km on any acknowledged route into Santiago.
So, walking from St. Jean Pied de Port to Sarria qualifies you for nothing. But walking from Sarria to Santiago qualifies you for the Compostela. it is all about actually arriving at the religious focus of the entire pilgrimage...the relics of the Apostle Saint James (Santiago).
Practically speaking, on the...
Also, you do not need to get your Compostela immediately on arrival. You could finish all of your walking then queue once. If you are going to seek two Compostelas for doing two routes, each consisting of at least 100 km, BE SURE YOU HAVE TWO DISTINCT CREDENCIALES.
- Camino Frances, you need to walk at least from Sarria to Santiago (118 km).
- Camino Portuguese, you need to walk at least from Tui to Santiago (107 km).
- Camino Primitivo, you must walk from the town BEFORE Lugo, Lugo is 99 km from Santiago.
- Camino Invierno, you must walk at least from Monforte de Lemos
- Other Caminos have similar minimal distance points...
Coming the first thing the morning after arrival is a good way to avoid the long lines. The pilgrim office opens at 0800, seven days a week.
Hope this helps to clarify.
You get a different Compostela walking to Finisterre and Muxia. You just go into the offices in those cities and show them your passport with the stamps from Santiago and you will receive them.I'm not sure,,, but I don't think you can get a Compostela by walking to Finesterre, Muxia and back to Santiago,,,, if that is what you are thinking

As you are seeking to walk a 100 Km circular tour, I would resume the practice of getting a sello where you sleep for the night, starting when you leave Santiago, and at another place you stop during the day, like a cafe... Inside the 100 km boundary, they always look for the 2 stamps per day especially if that is the limit to how far you walked.

Isn't that kind of what I said????? haha. I got my whatever it is called in Finisterre and it is not a Compostela but who cares haha.No, not quite. You can claim the Finisteriana (I think it is called) on arriving in Finisterre. You can claim the Muxiana in Muxia. If you walk back to Santiago over 100km with two sellos a day you can claim the compostella also. Same one you receive from walking from Sarria etc. See 2tandreo's post above.
