left compostela in my hotel in Santiago

[suirtean62]

Good morning.

Having just returned after completing my camino (Portugese via Porto and central route) I have realised I left my certificates in the hotel. I have contacted them but received no response.
Does anyone know if it is possible to request a replacement compostela. I still have my pelegrino creditials with the completed stamps. any advice would be sincerely appreciated.

Thanks John

It has been asked before and I’ve not seen a definitive answer other than from those who physically attended the pilgrim office and explained the situation.

You might ask directly?

Oficinadelperegrino@catedraldesantiago.es

If you get a response from them, and if the hotel is in old town... I can walk over the get it for you and send it home... email me if they find it: ivar@casaivar.com

This was an earlier reply to a similar plea

The Pilgrims office can / will issue a replacement compostela. There is a small fee that you’ll need to send (I used wise.com), you’ll need to make a copy of your credencial(s), and be patient, but they will replace your lost compostela . I know because I lost my original at the Madrid airport when departing. and Ivar provided the following email address: credencialesperegrinos@catedraldesantiago.es. I received my replacement ~a month after initiating the request. The office did mail it to me in the U.S., but be sure to be very clear about your address in your email correspondence.

¡Buen Camino!

Sounds like the perfect excuse to do another Camino

If this is still an issue, send me a PM with the name of the hotel and your name and I wander over and look for it ;-)
