Thank you John. But there is no mention of the 2-stamps-rule for the last 100/200 km!JohnnieWalker said:“En las casillas deberá figurar el sello de cada localidad (al menos uno por día) con la fecha, para acreditar su paso.”

There is:Perhaps there could be another type of compostella
Wanna' bet?? :wink:Deep down mate the taxi hoppers , mud dodgers or bus riders CANNOT have the same pride as you.

It depends what your walk/bus group does, I suppose. If the bus just takes you to/from a hotel but drops you off at the same place in the morning I don't think it matters. I may be wrong. Buen Camino!dmantony said:I will be solo walking from Los Arcos to Burgos (112.38km) and then joining a walk/bus group (to calm the nerves of husband and family left behind). By the Camino rules I am not allowed a Campostella? This makes me sad.
For me, no. Perhaps it's different because I now have a couple but I don't look at them or the couple from Finisterre or the one from Muxia.november_moon said:For anybody who actually walked, is the compostella the most important thing that you got out of your Camino?
NoorvanderVeen said:^ Also, I think, if you're cheating you're only really doing it to gain the Compostela. So if you want the Compostela, the minimum is 100km and no one would really 'fake' all the way from, say, Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port.
ffp13 said:It is possible that someone who walked from SJPP may not be capable of completing the last 100km due to illness injury etc, and it is possible that they may feel an entitlement to a Compostela for the 100s Km that they did complete, only to be robbed of that recognition because they could not complete the last 100K, especially when many others only walk the last 100k and can get the Compostela.

Yes, from Sarria to Santiago.I should collect two stamps
Two caminos, on both occasions I did not have two stamps every day from Sarria. They asked where I started from, reasons for doing it and gave me my compostela. Pamplona first time and St Jean second time was enough for the pilgrim office. As to rumours about two stamps the whole way, someone is having a laugh. Just not true. Remember that you are on a pilgrimage and it is between you and God. The pilgrim office are not going to devalue your pilgrimage in that wayHello.
There are rumors that the personnel in the pilgrims office handles the "2-stamp-rule" different. Some of the people require 2 stamps for the whole journey. Others only for the stretch in Galicia and others only for the last 100km (Sarría to SdC). What is right? Has someone good connection to the pilgims office so that an official statement from the pilgrims office could be published here?
Buen Camino
Jochen
Two stamps in the last 100 km is not only true, but it is printed on many credentials!! Two stamps all the way is not true. The Pilgrim Office takes some latitude when they see a credential with stamps going back to France, but pilgrims walking from Sarria to Santiago will get scrutiny. Pilgrim Office volunteers/employees show a lot of judgement.As to rumours about two stamps the whole way, someone is having a laugh. Just not true.
Its not on the Irish credentials. What do pilgrims who stop at Monte do Gozo do for two stamps on last day. The hype about these two stamps is getting out of hand. Walk from St Jean to Satiago, you will get a compostela, walk from Sarria and get two stamps per day up to Monte do Gozo and you will get your compostela. The pilgrim office are not secret police out to trick true pilgrims out of their compostela, in fact I would not be surprised if they were all past pilgrims themselves and are only there to help, not hinderI received my credential from the "American Pilgrims on the Camino" office this week. On the passport itself is stated that "two stamps per day are required in Galicia. On the final day, pilgrims must obtain two stamps BEFORE entering the city of Santiago." My question: Other than the refugio/albergue where you sleep, where do you get your credential stamped?
Hi, just finished my Camino Frances from SJPDP, had only stamps from the albergues was no problem at all. You only need 2 stamps a day when you walk from Sarria to Santiago. Wish you well, Peter.Walked from St Jean to Santiago. Only got stamps from the overnight albergues. The man in Santiago just looked me up and down, decided I looked the part and gave me the Compostela.
