credential in Ourense?

[sulu]

Does anyone know if/where it is possible to get a credential in Ourense? I have looked at the websites for the tourist office and the cathedral but neither seem to recognise that there is a Camino de Santiago going through Ourense, starnge as it is well signed :?

Hi - the Cathedral should have credenciales and was issuing them to pilgrims last time I was there.

Thanks John,
I'll go to the Cathedral tomorrow, if I can't get one I'll be in touch.

The hospitalero at the Ourense albergue is very helpful and should be able to send you to the right place. He might even have them at the albergue

Thanks Donovan, I had thought of that but didn't fancy that awful hike up to the Albergue The last time I hiked up there the hospitalero was not there and I am far too lazy to walk for nothing, especially when it is hot.

As Johnniewalker said the credentials can be acquired at the cathedral, I got one this morning, they are wll hidden, locked up in the Sacristy, and as the Sacritans don't wear cassocks it is not easy to find one. I went to an open door and walked in, I think it was a private area but they took pity on me, as a foreigner, and a gentleman took me off to look for a sacristan, he was standing outside having a cigarette, not the first place you look However I am now prepared and can stop that little panic, I'm sure I will find something else to worry about.
