James,
Markitect is right, I got a 'carta peregrina' in Sahagun last year, you need to go to the church on the hill, which appears to be an exhibition centre,
check the opening hours as they vary. There was an interesting exhibition of architectural models on when we were there. Just outside Sahagun there is a
stone which states that that point is the dead centre of the Camino.
I also got a stamp in Madrid this year in St James church, again you have to go after mass and the priest will stamp your pilgrim passport. We are doing
the Camino in stages and flew into and out of Madrid this year. I don't know how well known it is that the stamp is available here, we asked at several
of the historical sites such as the Palace before we were told where to go.
It's still refering to some particular point being the strart, no matter where that is. No?The text refers to the geographic centre of the French Way as laid out in the Codex Calixtinus. It does not seem to make the broader claim that the French Way is THE Way.

I showed my Pilgrim Passport to get a credential stamp and was given the 'very beautiful' numbered Carta Peregrina after a visit to the exhibition at the Sanctuario. I believe that the the Carta only signifies a pilgrims arrival at the halfway point or geographical centre of the CdSdC, nothing more than that. Mine was numbered 4441. Buen CaminoVery interesting! Does it require a display of sellos proving you've actually walked the entire first half of the Camino Frances in order to obtain this beauty? Or is just visiting the Sanctuario sufficient?
(I ask because I expect to be in Sahagun in September, but I'm starting this Camino in Los Arcos/Logrono, rather than in SJPdeP/Roncesvalles.)
