Time of past OR future Camino
Fall 2022
I have obtained a pilgrim passport from the Canadian pilgrim group, and have ordered a special one from Ivor. My camino will start in porto in September. My question is do I need to go to the cathedral in porto and do anything or can I just start and collect Stamps?

You don't have to get your credential stamped at the cathedral (or any particular place), but it is a nice starting point and stamp.

At the Pilgrims Office!
They will also give you a single sheet of paper with all the towns, their services and albergues listed. In addition, they will counsel you if there are inclement weather conditions.
 
Yes, In St Jean the pilgrim Office and if open the Church and most of the accommodation venues have cellos. Cheers

Is it possible to get the special Holy Year credential at the Pilgrims Office in SJPdP or do we need to order that online from Ivar ahead of time? Thanks

No. The Pilgrims Office in SJPDP issues credentials produced by the French pilgrim association.
The special holy year credential is produced by the cathedral in Santiago. Order it from Ivar if you want one.

Sorry - the Cathedral in Porto (or in Lisbon) or even your accommodation venue will have a stamp. Cheers
