If you walk to Fisterra you can obtain Fisterrana and Muxiana if you walk to Muxia.I've been reading up on the SdC to muxia/ Finesterre Camino ( Lucky me I've got time!)
But I'm confused after reading the threads.
Some posts have said you only get a compostela if you do the loop- Santiago to Muxia or Finesterre to Santiago.
Since it appears the return to Santiago isn't marked well, it doesn't make much since.
Others have talked about getting a Muxia AND Finesterre compostela.
Can you clarify?
Exactly as @Anemone del Camino wrote, nobody wrote thatI recall that when I worked in the Pilgrim Office, a few years ago, the Compostela was Not awarded on the Finterra ..regardless of the 100km walked. The explanation was that the Compostela was awarded for walking to the "Saints Relics" from a point 100km distant.
Walking to Fisterra is walking away from SdC and thus not qualified.
I started in Santiago and walked to Muxía then Fisterra and onwards to Santiago and the Office gave me a Compostela and Certificate of Distance for the whole distance. So I am not sure about your emphasis on the START.Nothing has changed. A compostela will be awarded to pilgrims who START in Finisterre and walk to Muxia then walk to Santiago - or START in Muxia walk to Finisterre and then walk to Santiago.

I'm trying to plan my walk of California's mission trail and may do something very similar, using a train, except for the 2 legs closest to my home (where I can talk relatives into either dropping me off or picking me up)...of course, the hard part will be finding someone to stamp my credentialThere are Camino Clubs (no idea about the right term) in Spain who do the Camino one day a week or so. They typically walk with no luggage. They get bused to the starting point of the stage, walk it, get a stamp, bus back home. Next week(end) they do the next stage. There are often people that don't have the time to do more than one Saturday due to family commitments.
I consider it like notarizing a document where I'm not vouching that what is in the document is true just that I'm witnessing someone signing the document who is claiming that what is in it is true. Stamping a sello into a credential is certifying that that piece of paper was at a certain place on the specified date. The holder then either makes a claim in Santiago or simply keeps the credential as a souvenir.Credentials/Sellos/Bus Pilgrims? ... My wish is to not waterdown the importance of the pilgrimage it is individual and everyone will celebrate life in their own way. Different situations different choices. Any ideas?...... Ultreya......

The US Postal service will give you a stamp...

I see me now, asking the friendly postal workersThe US Postal service will give you a stamp... Willy
