Arrive to Madrid on May 29 and then travel to Merida to begin the VDP. Can I get my credential in Merida or do I have to get it in Madrid?

You can buy a passport and have it mailed to your house before you leave. Ivar sells them at the Camino Forum store, or Confraternity of St James or American Pilgrims on the Camino, or one of the many other Pilgrim associations. Then you know you will have it with you. One less worry.Arrive to Madrid on May 29 and then travel to Merida to begin the VDP. Can I get my credential in Merida or do I have to get it in Madrid?

@Vince1958I'm going to be walking the via de la plata in October / November. I just noticed that my credencial has only 6 and 1/2 pages for sellos - is that enough or should I take more than one credencial? Or - when mine is full, is it possible to pick up a new one on the way?
@Vince1958
I took two credencials with me on my VdlP last October/November and filled one, almost filled the second. I got both of them at Hotel Simon in Seville, where I stayed for two nights before beginning my camino. Then I took one to the nearby cathedral and got it stamped to mark the beginning of my camino. I would not want to trust that I would be able to find one wherever I happened to fill mine. You could purchase one by mail from this forum or from your local pilgrim association, or get one In Seville from locations mentioned on the website of the Amigos de la camino de Santiago en Sevilla at www.viaplata.org . You can translate the website using google chrome then click on Attention to the pilgrim to find information about getting a credencial. As you need two sellos a day in your credencial for the last 100 km, it can fill up rapidly towards the end of your camino. Buen camino.
