Where to get credential in Ponferrada?

[ungiroingiro]

Good morning, I’m booking the flight for the Camino, starting the 12th of August from Ponferrada. I’d like to be sure that once I’ll be in Ponferrada I can buy and pick up the Camino passport. Could anyone give me more information and the opening time of the place where they delivery the passport?
I’m worried that once I’ll be there I can’t have it.
Thanks
Andrea

If you’re staying the night it’s a good place to choose. They have separate male and female rooms.

While waiting for the albergue to open visit the Capilla de Nuestra Señora del Carmen next door. It is a splendid space,

Get it from the church, in the main square.

A really top notch, clean and well run donativo. I have stayed a few times. Really well equipped and large kitchen. Probably the biggest kitchen I remember of any albergue.
One time when I stayed there was a bunch of food trucks in a lot next to the albergue. There were some really good and well priced foods to choose from.

Oh! Do they allow the use of the kitchen nowadays? On my first visit a very autocratic Swiss hospitalera loudly declared "The kitchen is NOT for cooking in!"
Otherwise it's a lovely place to stay in.

You may also be able to get a credencial in your home country, in advance. I see you have a short timeline, but you could check it out if your country has a pilgrim organization.

It has been three years since I was there if memory serves me correctly. Maybe things have changed. I know I ate in the albergue but i do not remember if I cooked or if I just used the microwave. I do remember the kitchen was big.
