Pilgrim Passport

Time of past OR future Camino
Taking about 12 days for my first Camino walk in July, 2015. Starting in Ponferrada.
Could someone please tell me where to get a Pilgrims Passport in Ponferrada? I arrive around 20:30 and am hoping I can get one that night. TIA :)
 
€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
In July and arriving so late you might want to reserve your first night in Ponferrada, either in a pension or in a private albergue. The parish one doesn't accept reservations. After that, just go with the flow. Buen Camino! SY

However the parish albergue SNdF does have 174 places available!

I have already booked my first night a the Hostal Rio Selmo :) I guess I could get the passport in the morning. . .
Thanks!
 
You can get it at the Albergue de Peregrinos San Nicolas de Flue, calle de la Loma. They are open until 22:30. You need not stay there in order to obtain a Credencial. Buen Camino!

That's where I got my second passport after filling up my first!
 
At that time of the day she will, most likely, end up in the cellar without much fresh air ... SY

She should hope for the basement. I passed through a few days ago, and they're remodeling it - even getting the always-desirable WiFi down there.
 
New Original Camino Gear Designed Especially with The Modern Peregrino In Mind!

Unfortunately the albergue SNdF is not open after 08:00 in the morning. Try to go in the evening for your Credencial since they are open until 22:30.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
Ditto.....order one now from here.
Why deal with the hassle of trying to locate one very late or very early in Ponferrada?
 
@SYates - unfortunately, it didn't look like it. Just an interior remodeling.
