credencial in Bilbao

We are starting our camino in Bilbao, next Monday.
Does anybody know if we can get our credencials in Bilbao, and where?
I didn't realize we were supposed to get our credencials before we start.
I just assumed we could pick them up at the first albergue.
Now I am panicking because we don't have them and can't get them mailed to us before we leave in a few days.

I did see Johnnie Walkers post about printing off your own.
I hope that works.

At the Catedral de Santiagomin the Casco Viejo (old town). If memory serves me right, the nuns keep the stamp and credenciales is at the front of the church, to the left of the altar in the sacristia.and a large stamp it is as well! The Albergue de peregrinos de Bilbao would also certainly have them.
