Question regarding Pilgrim's credential

[crhutch]

If I get a pilgrim's credential and walk only a few stages of the Camino, can I use that same credential a following year to complete the Camino?

Short - Yes! Buen Camino ;-) SY

Just ensure it's an 'approved' credencial and you should be good to go. This shouldn't be a problem if you get one through your American Pilgrim Assoc. or through the many Albergues in Spain or the Pilgrims Office in SJPDP. Good luck!!

Yes

I reused once and added the new departing place (because I was more or less "re starting" a previous walk), separated with a slash /
I noticed that in the Pilgrim's office the kind young lady that received me looked at the first sello and date (even if it was well behind the famous 100 k), then checked the first page of the credencial. I don't know why, because I was not asking for the certificate of distance. Or maybe I was imagining things.
Well, in short, yes. Reuse it.
Buen camino!

No problem what so ever.
Buen Camino, Peter.

As long as you maintain the usual direction of travel, in a chronological order, even with long breaks, it counts.

In the above posts, that is why the Pilgrim Office person checked the credencial starting from the opening entry inside the front cover. Once you know where and when the journey started, you can better follow the directional and chronological progress.

I hope this helps.
