Stellos between Lavacolla and Santiago de Compostela

Greetings from The Camino !

For my last leg of the journey, I will be staying in Ruta Jacobea in Lavacolla and am a bit anxious about obtaining the two required stellos before entering Santiago de Compostela. Can anyone recommend where I obtain the final two - or confirm that there are enough to be obtained ?

Kind regards

Very light, comfortable and compressible poncho. Specially designed for protection against water for any activity.

Our Atmospheric H30 poncho offers lightness and waterproofness. Easily compressible and made with our Waterproof fabric, its heat-sealed interior seams guarantee its waterproofness. Includes carrying bag.

...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-
Don't worry about the sellos if your last etapa is the 9 km from Lavacolla.
The Pilgrims Office will let you get your Compostela if you have your sellos the previous etapas.
But if the bars, cafees and camping are open they will have sellos.
 
On the way into Santiago you will also pass 2 churches, as you enter the old town, which have sellos; Santa Maria del Camino and San Benito del Campo, where sellos for both churches were available - the last before the Cathedral stamp.
 
€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.
Villamaior has a bar 1 km after Lavascolla, Camping San Marcos (you'll walk right by it) afterwards, and San Marcos chapel (always open) at Monte de gozo. Once down in there city locals mast not be as enthusiastic about stamping credentials.

Turns out my anxiety, as you have all indicated is misplaced. I collected several sellos before reaching the cathedral on Tuesday morning without even trying !

Cheers

The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
