Getting a credencial

katja · Aug 8, 2007

Hi
A week and a bit to my Camino and I've now started to worry that I won't be able to get a credecial at Ponferrada which is my starting point. Can anyone confirm that it is possible, please?
Many thanks!

Refugio de Ponferrada
Calle La Loma, s/n
24400 PONFERRADA (León) España
Tel +34 (987) 413 381
Email peregrinosflue@terra.es

Oficina del Peregrino
Paraisín, 1
24400 PONFERRADA (León) España
Tel +34 (987) 427 258

Here is a nice place to stay, they also offer a Pilgrim Discount:

Hotel Bierzo Plaza
Plaza del Ayuntamiento, 4
24400 PONFERRADA (León) España
Tel +34 987 409 001
Fax +34 987 409 013
Email hotelbierzoplaza@hotelbierzoplaza.com
Web http://www.HotelBierzoPlaza.com

I'd say the refugio is the most sensible place to get it as you can then stay there for the night.

ps. I pinched this off another site so don't give me the credit!
