Hi Guys -
We are walking from Ponferrada to Santiago at the end of April - wondering if there are places to get the Compostela outside of Santiago, to carry along the way... we have seen lots of pictures of walkers with the shells on their packs... which must mean they found them along the way???
Also - we are not sure what to keep an eye out for on this particular leg of the camino - have heard much about Astorga and Burgos... but what should we make a point of seeing from Ponferrada onward? Any rituals we would be sad not to partake of? Any not-to-be-missed sites? Any meals to remember?
We presently will be walking with credentials provided by the American Pilgrims Ass. - but have heard that perhaps we need credentials from a local church instead? Is this the case? If so, where can we find these credentials in Santiago or Ponferrada?
Thanks so much,
looking forward to seeing some of you along the way
Buen Camino!
