    Number of Credentials needed

    How many credentials do you need if you walk multiple Caminos in a row? Can you just keep using the same one? For example, Camino Madrid, to Camino San Salvador, to Camino Norte, to Santiago.

    If I were to detour and walk from melide to sabrado to visit the monestary and then walk back to melide to continue along the Frances, would that jeopardize qualifying for the compestetla?

    Muxiana certificate, without going to Finisterre

    Hi All, I was wondering if anyone had walked from Santiago to Muxía and obtained a Muxiana certificate upon their arrival. I have seen advice that you have to walk via Finisterre/Lires to qualify for a Muxiana; is it possible to go straight to Muxía and still obtain a Muxiana? Many Thanks, Paul
