Credencial

Credencial with my name beautifully inscribed inside arrived by post today. I was on my porch in tears. I guess this is running deeper than I had expected.

Buen Camino my friends.

A very special moment! If you belong to a church, get the first stamp there. Perhaps they will do a special blessing for you as well.
I love my stamped credenciales, every stamp is a reminder of the place I visited, or passed through.
Have a wonderful walk.
 
Ideal pocket guides for during & after your Camino. Each weighs only 1.4 oz (40g)!
Another wonderful thing to do, when you ask for your credencial to be stamped, is to have your journal stamped as well - if you are writing one, obviously, and I highly recommend it. ('Can't take the credit for this idea - it was from Ailsa Piper's Camino memoir, 'Sinning Across Spain', so thanks to Ailsa for this.)

I was wondering if they would stamp multiple items for you? I had considered my journal, but also thought about keeping a larger piece of paper in a tube in my pack... something I could get stamped on one side and frame it later, since the credencial looks like it will have to be stamped on both sides. I could also get necessary stamps on the credencial, and lots of "extras" on the paper. What would they say about this?
