Reusing my cedential

Time of past OR future Camino
the french way
I walked from Burgos last year to Santiago but now I feel like I'd like to return and finish my walk to Finisterre and Muxia. I still have quite a bit of space in my credential and I'd love to keep using it from Santiago onwards when I continue my walk, and it'd be nice to have all my stamps from the camino in one place. I'd also like to get the Fisterrana and the Muxiana so do I have to get a new credential or could I also continue using my old one?
 
Very light, comfortable and compressible poncho. Specially designed for protection against water for any activity.

I used mine for Camino Vasco and Mozarabe. No issues.
 
New Original Camino Gear Designed Especially with The Modern Peregrino In Mind!
If your credential contains the stamp of the Cathedral & Pilgrim Office on the inside front cover, and on the last page of sellos from your past Camino, the CREDENTIAL IS CLOSED, and cannot be used to support obtaining another Compostela. They do this to preclude folks from using disjointed Camino segments cobbled together to look like one legitimate length Camino.

The SOLE exception would be to use for sellos on the route from Santiago TO Finisterre or Muxia. These destinations do not qualify a pilgrim for a Compostela.

The Tourist Information (TI) offices at Finisterre and Muxia issue the Fisteriana and Muxiana certificates respectively as a form of official welcome and greeting to pilgrims visiting these towns. However, these are not Compostelas and have no relationship to the documents issued by the Cathedral at the Santiago Pilgrim Office.

You CAN use excess space in any credential to start gathering sellos at Santiago, and leading to Finisterre and Muxia.

Alternatively, you can go to the TI for Galicia, colocated at the Pilgrim Office to obtain a free guide to Finisterre & Muxia. This map-like document contains all manner of useful information for pilgrims walking from Santiago to the coast. It also had abundant space for sellos. It functions as a credential for this short route. Again, the TI Galicia Guide to the Camino Finisterre and Muxia is FREE.

I hope this helps.
 
The question was about using space in a Credencial to collect stamps on the way to Finisterre and Muxia in order to get the certificates there.

The answer is Yes. You don't need another Credencial - just keep walking! Your existing Credencial will give you access to the Albergues on the way as Falcon has said - the stamps you collect will entitle you to the certificates in Finisterre and Muxia.

Buen Camino

When I walked this route this past March, the Fisterana (certificate of completion) was issued at the Municiple Albergue in Finisterre.
