I'm starting my Camino on the 5th of May next year from Leon Airstrip (Val Virgien de Camino) is it possible to get a Pilgrims Passport there?

Hola VickyD,
Welcome to the Forum.
From memory you actually get your stamp at the tourist office, opposite the cathedral, others might know if you can get your credential/passport there.
However, you can get one from the Australian Friends of the Camino, prior to leaving if you join the association.
Buen Camino
Colin

In Leon you can get a credential/Pilgrim's Passport at Albergue "Santa Maria de Carbajal" the Benedictine Monastery.

We got our credentials from our national confraternity, American Pilgrims on the Camino. Since your profile indicates you're an Australian, the national confraternity, Australian Friends of the Camino <http://afotc.org/> website indicates that they issue credentials. Look under the tab titled Contact and you'll see link for "Request Credential." That way you'll already have it in hand and ready for your first sello (stamp) when you arrive, and have one less thing to worry about as you're getting oriented and ready to take the first steps toward Santiago.

Buen Camino,
Jim
