You must walk the last 100 klms from Sarria at least, with two stamps per day to achieve the Compostela. All the others are certificates, eg St Jean to Sahagun -halfway 400 Klm certificate obtained at the monastery at Sahagun.
Santiago to Muxia - certificate.....Muxia to Finisterre certificate...or Santiago - Finisterre - certificate. Distance certificate obtained from anywhere to Santiago eg. St Jean Pied de Port to Santiago is 799 Klm certificate. (€3)
No taxis, no buses, no bikes no wheeled transport only walking but horses, donkeys, riding elephants allowed.
It took me until my 3rd Camino to get the 799 Klm & 400klm, Muxia & Finisterre certificates this year. With walking only. (2016, 2017, 2018) and another Compestella. So I have 2 compostelas for 2016 & 2018.

Which certificate/ distance do you want to walk on your pilgrimage?
Strangely, my certificate of distance from St Jean to Santiago says 755 Km. Does not really matter but why the discrepancyYou must walk the last 100 klms from Sarria at least, with two stamps per day to achieve the Compostela.

It's likely that the weight of pilgrims has flattened the trail thereby moving Santiago further from StJPdP :0)Strangely, my certificate of distance from St Jean to Santiago says 755 Km. Does not really matter but why the discrepancy
This is the best post of the day (the flying pigs were good too...).It's likely that the weight of pilgrims has flattened the trail thereby moving Santiago further from StJPdP :0)
The thought of a huge Pilgrim rolling pin smoothing out the Pyrenees and O'Ceb is strangely attractiveIt's likely that the weight of pilgrims has flattened the trail thereby moving Santiago further from StJPdP :0)
Strange? - definitely! Attractive? - I think we'll have to differ on that oneThe thought of a huge Pilgrim rolling pin smoothing out the Pyrenees and O'Ceb is strangely attractive

Well actually looks like it moved it 44 Km closer , was 799 but my certificate says only 755It's likely that the weight of pilgrims has flattened the trail thereby moving Santiago further from StJPdP :0)
My first one (2014) says "776 km". My second (2017) says "781". My wife's second (also 2017) says "800"Strangely, my certificate of distance from St Jean to Santiago says 755 Km. Does not really matter but why the discrepancy
