May-June 2015
Had to abort my Camino in 2015 when I fell and broke some bones. Want to pick it back up at Villa Franca del Bierzo in 2017. Will I be able to continue using the 2015 credential? Will my friend be able to get a credential in Villa Franca?
 
€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.
Yes you will be able to continue with your credential from 2015, I'm not sure about getting a new one for your friend in Villa Franca, but don't worry the answer to that question will come from someone shortly.
 
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
You can get a credential in Villafranca del Bierzo at several places including the albergue de Ave Fenix which is open all year. You need not stay in the albergue in order to obtain a credential.

For more info see this Gronze list in Spanish of Villafranca lodgings and their services.
