Getting a compostela this Saturday (July 27th)

We're doing the Portuguese Coastal Camino again this year, and notice a significantly larger number of people on the path.
What time do you think we should arrive at Santiago to be sure to get a Compostela this Saturday (July 27th)?
Unfortunately, we leave early the following day so Saturday is our only option.

Thank you!

These days it is relatively fast & easy to obtain your Compostela. Download the QR code found on the inner front page of your Credencial and fill in the information earlier for example today. You can also go to the Cathedral web page: https://catedral.df-server.info/agencias/Banderas.aspx?ind=1
This speeds up the process.
 
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
It was already pretty fast in 2022, and it's much faster now. You can make things even easier for yourself by waiting for a moment when there's no queue in front of the door.
