If you have time I would try to get one before you get there. I have not been there when the office was open and I have only been able to get photo copied pages from the albergues. I already have one to use when I walk the Inglés again next month.

When I did the Ingles I was only given a scrappy A4 sheet of paper in the Tourist Office, later I met people who had a proper credencial from the Cathedral (pro-cathedral I think) but there was no-one there when I entered at 2 p.m. As the others have said it is better to get one before

I had no trouble getting a credencial from the Cathedral. Had to wait 15 minutes until they got back from coffee break.

I walked the Ingles this spring (2017). Was one of the best, if not the best, Caminos I have done!

Got passport at Hotel Silva. Also, was no problem getting one at the Tourist Office.

Tourist Office should still be at Plaza de Espana. Small stand alone building in the Plaza.

There "should" be one at the Tourist Office. But, could be out of them or the Tourist Office is closed when you are there. So, I got mine at Hotel Silva.

Hotel Silva is clean and not expensive. Can pick up the Camino from Hotel Silva by walking down the street and hooking up with the Camino. I did from the port (actual starting point) to the circle (where I would pick up the Camino the next morning) the day before.

Down the street a few blocks from Hotel Silva is a excellent self laundry.

As a child I spent many years in Ferrol. Things have gone down some in Ferrol over the years

Interesting Naval Musumes in Ferrol. Actually very nice! One for Spanish Navy other for commercial ship building.

That is all you will get should you find the tourist offices open.

We got ours from American Pilgrims on the Camino before we arrived in Spain. Does your country have a similar organization?
