Arriving in Santiago De Compostela tomorrow. Is it possible to get a stamp at the main Cathedral OR is it stamped at the Pilgrim’s Office?
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

The stamp is given at the Pilgrim Office. I asked once in the Cathedral if there was a stamp there at all and was told not.
Some of the churches on the way in also have their own sellos if you want them too.
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
The stamp affixed at the Pilgrim Office IS the official Cathedral sello / stamp. The Pilgrim Office is a branch of the Cathedral administration.

Hope this helps.
 
Wasn't there a stamp in the cathedral's shop? I think I got one there in 2015.
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

Hi, is it possible to start to walk on the Camino de Santiago from Bilbao to Pamplona and keep following the route? I am thinking to start the trip in July. Any tips? :)

. I know off the Camino the Baztan that is from Bayonne to Pamplona .

Maybe some off the other forum members know it .

Wish you well and Buen Camino , Peter .
 
There is no need for an "official" initial stamp. You can get your first sello from an albergue, hotel, bar, tourist office, supermarket, church or almost any Spanish business.

Supermarket or Spanish business? Wow I didn't know they had stamps...I learn something new about the Caminos every day

Along the Camino routes, and at Santiago, virtually every commercial business has a rubber stamp (sello). Because obtaining sellos can be a bit like a scavenger hunt on some routes, I resorted to knocking on winery (bodega) doors to seek sellos along the Camino de Invierno this past April.

Other 'creative' sources to obtain a sello include farmacias and police stations.

Hope this helps.
