Hi
I'm leaving Leon tomorrow morning. Is there any way to get hold of the credential in the morning. I saw that the albergue opens at 11.

And where can I get a start stamp here in Leon? I'm staying at Parador.

You should be able to get one from here in the morning when the pilgrims leave in the morning, or the tourist office as well.

Thanks. They are 1,6 and 1,7 km in the wrong direction so I might just go with my other credential. Maybe Parador can give me a stamp?

The Parador has their own stamp as well.

Just saw your post. I guess you have left already. It is a pity you didn't get the Salvador Credential. It is qiute nice and also informative. Enjoy the Salvador. I think it is very beautiful and comparatively quite. I guess that before you get to read this you will have either discovered the lovely albergue at La Robla or carried on past to Buiza. The albergue in Poladura De La Tercia leaves a little to be desired. the one at Parajes has a wonderful hospitalera. Well after that there are choices, so I won't comment further.

Naah, no worries. The salvador credential is just another credential, a bit of paper. It´s the journey that counts, and the folks in Oviedo will acknowledge regular credentials just as well.
Have a wonderful trip up there, and try to dodge the thunderstorms!

Treat yourself in Posada el Embrujo, great food and good beds, the best place to stay in Poladura de la Tercia. The breakfast is spectacular, and Lucía and Feli are lovely landladies.

Buen camino, Beatrice, I'm sure you have the credential stuff figured out. A piece of paper is really all you need. Looking forward to hearing how it goes for you. Laurie

Thank you all. I used my credential i bought from Ivar. I just found the Salvador credential nice with the map and all. I walked to Buiza on day one and now I'm in Puerto Pajares in the bar. Having a lovely day.

Covering the ground well! Perhaps you should change your name to Speedy Gonzales?

I know. I was a little bit tired after 11 h and 58 minutes of walking (minus 1 h lunch break in Puerto Pajares)

98K in two days! You are a beast! Where are you staying? I found the man at the Hospedaje Senda del Huerna very friendly, as were the people at the Bar Sideria Mercadiellu on the main road entering the town. Buen Camino SG

...and the Bar Ave, where I went face-down into a cafe con leche. That descent into town is a killer!
