Down by the harbour start point of the Camino is a tourist office who will help with a map and directions to get out of Ferrol Town. They also supply a passport, however when I did this camino a few years ago, the passport was different to the "official" passport supplied by Ivar.

The office used to be on the jetty but it is now in the buildings facing the harbour. Also a good coffe shop next door.
 
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.
Any updates from anyone that’s gotten their credencial from Ferrol in the last year please?

I've just walked it ten days ago. I started in Ferrol at the harbour, getting my pre-bought credencial stamped at the tourist office mentioned above. You can also buy one there, if you need one. But keep in mind the opening hours! You don't want to wait for the office to open if you want an early start.

Super helpful, thanks! We’ll be arriving the day before, so we can pick up during that day and then still have an early start in the morning. Thanks again!

You're welcome! Perhaps you can do me a little favour? I missed seeing the stone marker for the beginning of the route outside the office.

If you can take a picture of that and post it, that will save me from having to return to Ferrol... :cool:

Hah, I can certainly oblige you that! It won’t be until May 21, though - hope you can wait! :)

That'll be fine. Muchas gracias!

If you want a little preview of what you'll be seeing/experiencing, you could read my blog.
