Can anyone comment on how easy/difficult it is to find sellos on the Senda Littoral route? As it's not a way-marked camino, and how I'm imagining I'll be staying in hostals or pensions for much of the time, will I have a problem to find places to stamp my credencial?
 
The 9th edition the Lightfoot Guide will let you complete the journey your way.
Not having done this route myself, I cannot say for certain. That having been said, every entity in Spain has a sello. When I was on the little-travelled Castellano-Aragonese, I had no trouble gettings sellos. Of course, albergues will have them, but so will pensions, hotels, bars, and restaurants, as well as any museums or churches you might drop into along the way. I found ayuntamiento (town hall) staff always happy to stamp away and I was occasionally given a cup of coffee. Police, whether municipal or Guardia Civil, were also pleased to provide sellos and frequently gave me golden advice on how to find the way of the Camino out of towns, which is not always well-marked. A certain forum member is proud of her rabbit abbatoir sello, which she believes is unique.

In short, you'll be fine.

Hola - I have walked this route. It is waymarked a lot of the way. Sellos are readily available in all the usual places.

Buen Camino

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
