And? Where is your question?Hello, I am within the 100km now.
Question it says is i need 2 stamps a day.
So lets say i walk to A for thr night. I stamp at A. Now next morning, before I leave, I have to stamp at A again, and then walk to B. When I get to B, i stamp B. And when i leave the next day, I stamp B in the morning.

The purpose of two stamps per day is to show that you walked the entire distance each day, and didn't use a bus or taxi. Therefore your second stamp (or first) of the day needs to be from somewhere other than where you slept. Usually where you had lunch, a coffee, vetc.
So it needs to be from a different town? Because i just walk. I dont eat lunch. I eat dinner in the same town as my accommodattion?
The rules are not so explicit as this. If you stamp twice from the same place you could then try to argue at the Pilgrim Office about the technicalities. Since that is probably not your wish, I recommend that you make a point of finding a second different stamp somewhere during the day, even if it is in the same town as you sleep. The Pilgrim Office is not likely to study the stamps, locate them on a map, and then quiz you about your day. As others have said, the stamps are simply a required way to support your claim that you have walked the last 100 km.So it needs to be from a different town?
There may have been some tolerance exercised by the PO in times past. Recent accounts suggest the 2 stamp rule is fairly rigorously applied. Remember, the Compostella is not awarded for walking from Ultima Thule it s awarded for walking 100km into Santiago, on a recognized Camino route, evidenced by a minimum of two stamps per day. Oh, and look pious when you get there...Hello, I was under the impression that you only need two stamps per day if you are only walking the past 100km, however, if you have walked the Camino from the beginning ie: Camino Frances from SJPdP to Santiago, one stamp fee day is sufficient.
Getting stamps is so easy! Every bar, cafe, Albergue or even church has it… my friends and I have had no problems filling out our passports. As a matter of fact, on the last stretch we all had 5 spaces left and we didn’t want to leave any blank… we easily filled them in walking from Pedrouzo to Santiago by stopping by few of many more cafes opened at early morning hours… you get a coffee here and Santiago cake there and water there… it adds up and once one is stamping, so are all… you will do fine! Enjoy the camino… don’t rush… and stamp away until you get to the finish line! PS. Leave one blank for the pilgrims office stampHello, I am within the 100km now.

Nope. It's been the rule for a long time. Like the one about "Religious reasons... or at least in a sense of search".Is this something new?
Interestingly enough, I was not asked by the clerk what my reasons were - perhaps it is now filled out in the online questionnaire that we have to fill out before getting the Compostela. I truly don’t remember, but I definitely wasn’t asked about it by the clerk…Nope. It's been the rule for a long time. Like the one about "Religious reasons... or at least in a sense of search".
From many other posts, no, it is not new. However, I have understood that it (the two stamps per day requirement) relates only to the final 100km for pilgrims arriving on foot.Talking of stamps, I have just today received my Holy Year passport for VDLP next year. In bold letters it says that two stamps are required per day to validate the journey. Is this something new?
I understood that was the case too! When I did the Francés, I only got one stamp/day until Sarria when I got two per day.From many other posts, no, it is not new. However, I have understood that it (the two stamps per day requirement) relates only to the final 100km for pilgrims arriving on foot.
Well, I love getting the stamps so not a problem!Nope. It's been the rule for a long time. Like the one about "Religious reasons... or at least in a sense of search".
Oh well.So it needs to be from a different town? Because i just walk. I dont eat lunch. I eat dinner in the same town as my accommodattion?
After the first 5 kilometers in the morning is the perfect time to stop for a stamp and a café con leche.So it needs to be from a different town? Because i just walk. I dont eat lunch. I eat dinner in the same town as my accommodattion?
I love this! I will try to be open-minded about where to collect my daily stamp.Hello, I was under the impression that you only need two stamps per day if you are only walking the past 100km, however, if you have walked the Camino from the beginning ie: Camino Frances from SJPdP to Santiago, one stamp fee day is sufficient.
When I walked the Frances with my son, Donald, in 2018, it became a daily challenge to see who managed to get the most interesting stamp of the day. One of my most memorable stamps was of a lemon from a little boy selling fresh lemonade from a wee trolley outside his house
