Bars and restaurants will.there are few people around at that time to stamp my credencial!
I'm currently on my 4th camino. On the 3 previous ones never bothered about getring 2 stamps per day. In the pilgrims office they seem to distinguish between pilgrims only walking the last 100 kilometers and those who started in St. jean, Irun, Sevilla, Salamanca and so on. Never had any problems getting my compostela.The pilgrim office asks for two stamps per day for at least the final 100km. A number of people have reported receiving a Compostela with only one per day when they have started much further away but why risk an argument about it? My credencial has always been stamped on arrival at an albergue - not first thing in the morning. You should not have much trouble in finding a second sello somewhere during the day even on the Sanabres.
You maybe not but there are Pilgrims they had. Yust get the 2 sello's and you will have no problems.I'm currently on my 4th camino.

I know what the rules of the PO are but in my experience if the volunteer at the counter see all the stamps in your credencial from let's say Seville or Valencia they don't make any fuss about two stamps per day in last 100km. One would be enough. At least that was so in my case twice.I'm on final approach to Santiago de Compostela, currently in Ourense.
Can anyone clarify if I need TWO sellos per day from here to the end, or will one per day be enough?
I leave around 5 - 6am each day, there are few people around at that time to stamp my credencial!
Many thanks

You may be confusing your good luck (or good looks) for a wise choice to comply with the Pilgrim Office requirements. I don't have the looks (or the luck) to expect a waiver of the rules. I just do what they ask.Never had any problems getting my compostela.
I don't know of my looks or lucks but I just don't go pick up a compostela.

That's ludicrous. Instead of working on our inner spiritual development, we now have to memorise coffee shops!The staff at the counter may ask you about location x, or cafe y, knowing that every passing pilgrim is aware of them.
The rule is minimum two stamps per day. Not an encyclopaedic knowledge of catering facilities.Rules are rules
Asking the more probative questions is only one way to get to the truth. The good news is that it is only occasionally necessary.
