Sellos on Mozarabe

Could someone please enlighten me! The guide for the Mozarabe routes indicates that the albergues are not “ manned” - they send you a code and you let yourself in. Is there a stamp available or do you have to go elsewhere for one?
Also, I presume there is a box for leaving donations, yes?

Kiwi family,
Yes, there is always a stamp at the unmanned albergues. It's DIY. Other places have stamps too. Yes, there is always a donation box. I don't recall if the albergues were all donativo or not. Especially between Almería and Granada, the albergues were mostly excellent.

Also, bear in mind that you don't need a Camino-specific stamp. An official business stamp, police station stamp, etc. works too.

In Spain, many institutions that do "official business" of any sort will have a stamp with said institution's key information - like address, phone number, that sort of thing. And these are perfectly acceptable, since the point is proving that you were physically there.
 
Does anyone know where to pick up a credential in Granada?
 
The 9th edition the Lightfoot Guide will let you complete the journey your way.
