Credencial

I haven't even started my first Camino yet - so probably not the best source of advice, but I applied to Mundicamino by post a week ago (the form and instructions - in Spanish - are on http://www.mundicamino.com) and received my credencial today. I am doing a crash course in Spanish, so filled the form out with dictionary in hand! The credencial is 5 Euros for EU citizens, 10 for the rest of the world. I sent cash, secured according to their instructions.

Otherwise look at the replies to my previous query (obtaining one in Burgos), and on the Mundicamino site.

Good luck!
 
oh i see... i thought it was possible to buy them even "on the road"... well, i'll have a look on that site, thanks for your reply!
 
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.
For a Pilgrim's Credential stop by at the Amigos del Camino office in Bilbao:

BILBAO
ASOCIACIÓN DE AMIGOS DEL CAMINO DE SANTIAGO DE BILBAO
Nicolás Alcorta, 7 - Pza. de Zabalburu
48010 – Bilbao

Good luck and buen camino!
