The Pilgrims' Office in Santiago is now issuing a new Compostela for those who travel by foot, horseback or bicycle the required distance for religious or spiritual reasons.
A new Certificate is also available for those who travel for purely sporting, cultural or leisure reasons.
These documents replace the previous Compostela and Certificate which are no longer issued.
Of course these are "just pieces of paper" and don't have the same importance as the entire pilgrimage experience or indeed the memories contained in the stamps on the credencial but they are rather nice
