Compostella for someone else

[Marc Everaert]

Hello,
Is it possible to get a compostela for someone else. Because he has no time left because of early flight.
He would give his credential to me when i go get mine
Tks in advance
Marc

Hola - the Compostela is personal and you cannot get one for someone else. You can ask the Pilgrims' Office to write a dedication on YOUR compostela to another person, usually dead or unable to make the pilgrimage through illness, but I don't think that's what you are looking for.

I think it is a lovely idea to collect sellos for them on a credencial and then you can describe the places to them.

Buen camino

John

I think he means that because of the friend's early flight, he is just trying to help the friend who has done the journey??

You are quite right. Sorry I misread.


The Compostela is personal and usually you have to appear in person. He can try but I'm almost certain they won't issue a Compostela to someone who is not there in person.

You know what I know how much dedication it takes to complete the Camino and if he has a photocopy of his passport and the credential is stamped with no white out and a copy of his travel details out I can not see why he should be denied the Compostela.
