April 2020!
Do people ever go through more than one credential (acquiring stamps) during the Frances Camino?
 
Altus 24 Liters daypack (DENON 24 H30)
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-
Some people go through several. Others like me can walk the Camino Frances and use only one side of the credencial from the SJPDP pilgrim office. It all depends on whether you like to collect sellos as a souvenir of your journey. Most albergues will stamp your credencial when you check in and that is enough for me personally. Up to you!

You can make an easy calculation: 1 stamp per day from wherever you start to Sarria, two stamps per day thereafter. From StJpdP to Santiago say 30 or so days, double up for the last 5. Somewhere between 35 & 40 stamps. Count the spaces on your credencial.

For me, those stamps are a great souvenir of the Camino that have the added advantage of not weighing anything. I have gone through as many as four credentials on the Camino Francés.

My son and I filled two on the Camino Frances. I saw as we were heading into Leon that we were going to run out of space, so I got a second credencial for each of us there and we started using it when we ran out of space in our first (in Pereje).

Yes! I had three credentials for a single walk from SJPDP -Santiago in 2014, but then again, I like to collect interesting sellos. Many obtained at churches and chapels are very nice with the namesake of the saint
