Credential Stamp Requirements

[Seawind]

Hi All! I’m on Day 26 from starting in Irún and have gathered a stamp each day. Tomorrow, I’ll be passing into Galicia and final 8-9 days to Santiago. Will I need to gather 2 stamps per day during the last 200 km to qualify for the certification?
And it has been an INCREDIBLY journey so far and meeting WONDERFUL pilgrims. Having a bit of separation anxiety leaving the Cantabria Sea behind!

If you are cycling then you need two stamps per day for the final 200km. Walkers need two per day for the final 100km. People who have walked or cycled longer distances sometimes report being given a Compostela with only one stamp per day but why take the risk of refusal if the Compostela is important to you? The pilgrim office rule is very clear.

Your photos are nice. Are you on foot?You should get two stamps a day once you reach Baamonde, which is about 100km out. One at your accomodation and one at your first bar stop is an easy rule of thumb.

Thanks to both of you. I’ll make a note to do such starting at Baamonde which “should” be this coming Friday!
And yes….I’m on foot and first Camino!
Thanks for your compliment on the photos! It’s easy when you have this landscape!
