Receiving Credencial (New Photo).

[JP]

Saturday 9th of April, we received our Credencial after a Mass and send off ceremony organized by our local Camino Pilgrim's Association. After the Mass the Priest in civilian clothes gave us our Credencial, only thing left to do now is to take the plane to Lisbon on Friday and on Sunday we start our walk form Coimbre to Santiago.

Thanks! My Great Great Granfather on My Mother side of the Family came to Canada from County Clare in 1838!

Bom Caminho JP! I start from Porto on 25th April so perhaps we might meet at some point although I will be walking the Coastal Route.

A lady from our area is also doing the Coastal about the same time as you, watch out for blue flags with 4 fleurs de lis.
