Compostela.

Future Camino de Santiago (April 2014)
Hi all.
When I reach the Santiage Cathedral and obtain my Compostela document, is there somplace I can buy a small cardboard tube to place it in?, or should I take a tube with me?, how big is it? I am assuming it is about an A4 size. My reasons for wanting to protect it is because I want to have it framed when I return home.
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
It will come with a tube - a great service - there is also an opportunity to make a donation to help with costs

Buen Camino
 
If the pilgrim office has run out of tubes [as sometimes happens] tubes are readily available in the souvenir shops scattered around Compostela for around 2 euro. The pilgrim office asks for 1 euro for each "tubo". And yes, the compostela is around A4 size.

Be brave. Life is joyous.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
Marvellous, thanks very much. At least that is one thing less to carry with me to Santiago.
