Dear pilgrim friends, I am on the VdlP right now and would like to connect to the Francés in Astorga. Can I keep on using my VdlP credencial?
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
Dear pilgrim friends, I am on the VdlP right now and would like to connect to the Francés in Astorga. Can I keep on using my VdlP credencial?
Yes, you can. It certifies that you are a pilgrim eligible to stay in albergues. It is not route specific.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
I agree, the VdlP credencial can be used on the Camino Frances. That said, I got a new credencial in Astorga (after walking up from Sevilla) just as a reminder that I had walked both routes. They are two very different routes and two credencials seemed appropriate.
 
Luka, as Falcon writes, your credencial is not route specific. In Santiago at the Pilgrims Office you will simply mention that you walked all the VdlP passing through Astorga (as opposed to Ourense). Felicitaciones!!!
