Is it possible to obtain a credential and a shell in Irun when I begin the Camino de Norte in March? If so where? Thank you.

My first shell was from a fishmonger from the Dingle Peninsula so was fairly local to me, my second one was from a sea food restaurant in Muxia, I was assured it was caught locally, I brought this home from my first Camino.Hi @rba, welcome to the Forum. You have plenty of time to obtain a credencial from Ivar's shop here: www.santiagodecompostela.me As for a shell, try your local fishmonger / sea-food restaurant.
Buen camino
Does't Ivar also sell shells? Those painted ones? Funny, I don't recall seeing many, if any, on the Norte. Or my memory just failing me?I will be starting on March 11 or 12 and really want to find a shell for my pack.

Now, there's a shell that will have true meaning.If you give me your address, I will post mine to you. It has the cross on it and was sent to me late by the agency. I have no intention to keep it when I'm done and would be happy to pass it on to another pilgrim.
With difficulty, as far as I know! I think there might be a way for the blogger to re-order the posts. I just start at the first page at the bottom and work my way through.how does one read a blog in chronological order?
Unfortunately it is as @C clearly has said, you have to scroll to the bottom and work your way up. I'll look later tonight if there's a way to reverse the order of it!Now, there's a shell that will have true meaning.
@CykaUJ , I would love to read your blog. I am not tech savvy, how does one read a blog in chronological order?
I tried to find how to do that, but my layout doesn't seem to allow if.Now, there's a shell that will have true meaning.

Thank you!Rba, under the second link provided by Erian, you can find a place in Irun where you can get the credencial all year round, Tuesday to Sunday, mornings from 9 to 12:30. Parroquia Passionistas, Estación Kalea 22, seems like it is right by the station, you can see the location by clicking here.
By the way: I hope you like solitude and empty albergues, because Camino del Norte in the middle of March is completely deserted. If you didn't feel comfortable with that, the Camino Frances runs parallel nearby (for example one hour by bus from San Sebastian to Pamplona)
Buen Camino!
Search here for some ideas re finding a Credencial for the Norte.A bit off topic, but is there a place in San Sebastián where one can get a credential? A pilgrims albergue, the tourist office or cathedral? While I'll be starting in Irun, I'm not staying at the albergue as I arrive after lock-down, and I don't think I'll have a chance to stop by in the morning. Thanks.
If you happen to walk your Camino in the summer, before heading to La Sirena, which is on the outskirts of San Sebastian, you may want to check the municipal albergue, it is much more centrally located - link to the Eroski website here - they should sell the credencials there.I'll be arriving in San Sebastián on a Friday afternoon after the walk from Irun, so I'll head out to the Albergue La Sirena and try there. Or for greater certainty, go past the albergue in Irun first thing, why make life complicated?
You could also order your credencial on this website, get it by becoming a member of the Canadian confraternity, or contact Centre la tienda in Mtl, they sell credenciales and might be willing to put one in the mail to you for an additional fee.Thank you mspath and anemone. The Friends of the Camino has an office at C. Urbieta 2 with limited hours (From April to September on Tuesday's and Thursday's, at 19:00h except holidays) and the office of the Bishopric of San Sebastián (at C. Zabaleta 5) is open Monday to Friday from 09:30 to 13:30. As luck would have it, I'll be arriving in San Sebastián on a Friday afternoon after the walk from Irun, so I'll head out to the Albergue La Sirena and try there. Or for greater certainty, go past the albergue in Irun first thing, why make life complicated?
