Credentials

[Ali@59]

Does the municipal albergue in Negreira sell credentials or can i use the one where I finished in Vigo in April this year? Or does the last stamp have to be Santiago de Compostela?

You can use the one you already have. Make sure to get it stamped again when you start from the same place where you finished your journey in April.

A long time ago this thread confirmed that you can buy a credencial in the albergue.

Or you can just affix plain paper.

It depends on what you want to use it for. Negreira is on the Camino Finisterre, if I remember correctly. If you want to use the credential to get a Compostela, you would need to get it stamped again in Vigo (or wherever your last stamp is) and twice a day from there to Santiago, as Bradypus writes above. But if you just want to use it to walk to Finisterre, you can use your unfinished one as it is.

The Municipal Albergue in Negreira does not sell Credencial but Albergue-Pension San Jose does according to Gronze https://www.gronze.com/galicia/coruna/negreira/albergue-pension-san-jose

In Gronze look for the phrase "Expiden la Credencial" under "Servicios y equipamiento".

How are you planning to get to Negreira? If you are walking from Santiago you can obtain a Credencial for the Fisterra/Muxia route from the Pilgrims Office or the Turismo Galicia at Rúa Carretas, nº 33. If you are walking from Vigo the advice above applies.

Many thanks for all the replies. Yes i am planning to walk from Santiago, Muxía then Fisterra and bus it back. I'll pick one up in Santiago

Enjoy! It’s a great walk. The Albergue at Dumbria is extraordinary and As Eiras in Lires is a delightful
