As @wisepilgrim has already said, no, you don't.do you I need to collect my credencial stamps today as I’m not planning on leaving the alberque!
Get well and Buen CaminoThank you so much everyone. I managed to get out briefly to the pharmacy and supermarket between the showers so I’m all stamped for the day!!!
You and many others have been lucky. Many in similar circumstances have had the rules applied as written and have been denied a compostella. Your anecdote - which I’ve no cause to disbelieve - is not helpful.Q: I have been led to believe that the two stamp a day rule is for the last leg of 100 Km only and then, importantly: only if this is your only distance,
whereas a full camino from farther off, say SJPdP or Seville will not require this rule of two stamps !??
I have been relying on old posts in this forum up till now and have thus been issued 2 Compostelas with one stamp only from a full CF and a full VdlP !! No one batted an eyelid...
Maybe I have just been lucky, and of course I will change my ways if this was wrongly observed !!
OK! So! You got lucky. Congratulations! So, turn up at the PO, 1 stamp per day from Trondheim and the excellent voluntario says “no”. Your actual explanation for disregarding the rules is?Q: I have been led to believe that the two stamp a day rule is for the last leg of 100 Km only and then, importantly: only if this is your only distance,

I took a breath whilst my esteemed colleague expressed similar sentiment with better grammar.Q: I have been led to believe that the two stamp a day rule is for the last leg of 100 Km only and then, importantly: only if this is your only distance,

The rule, which you can find on the Pilgrim Office website is for everyone regardless of where they started:I have been led to believe that the two stamp a day rule is for the last leg of 100 Km only and then, importantly: only if this is your only distance,

As others point out above, this was wrongly observed. You are correct in your understanding that the "two stamps a day" rule is for the last leg of 100km only. But the "and then, importantly..." part, saying that this only applies if this is your only distance, and that it doesn't apply to longer Caminos, is incorrect.Q: I have been led to believe that the two stamp a day rule is for the last leg of 100 Km only and then, importantly: only if this is your only distance,

Personally, nothing and everything. They formally acknowledges my belief that I walked in an attitude of spiritual search on the Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. Does that serve any practical purpose, other perhaps than being delightful bling to share with my friends? Not really. I will know how I walked without them, and my friends will eventually get bored with stories about 'that pilgrimage thing' that I do. But that doesn't mean I don't treat them as treasures, because they will always be that to me.I understand the earthly value of a Compostela to cafe owners but what significance has it in spiritual/religious matters? I've never tried to find out as I have issues with unnecessary rule following. Probably why I've never received one.

I didn't know that the Compostela has value to café owners.I understand the earthly value of a Compostela to cafe owners but what significance has it in spiritual/religious matters?
I think the value alluded to of the Compostela to cafe owners (at least in the last 100 km) is that it is supposed to encourage pilgrims to come into the cafe in search of a stamp for their credencials when they are looking for that second stamp. So it is not the value of a particular Compostela borne by a particular pilgrim but rather the value of the existence of Compostelas as a whole and the rules around them.I didn't know that the Compostela has value to café owners.
