    Camino Compostela

    Hello. My name is David Murray from Ireland. I wonder if anyone has noticed the following. I recently completed the Camino de Levante from Valencia. Previously, I had done the Via de la Plata, the Ingles and the Portuguese. On each of these previous occasions, the name of the Camino (as...

    This question has before been posted but I never cemented information into my memory bank. How do I request a Compostela in another’s name? Also, is it possible to receive two, one in my name and the other one?

    A frivolous question regarding credenciales past and present

    Apologies to those who detest frivolous questions - please move on; nothing to see here. When I walked my first camino from Chartres to SdC (autumn/winter, 1998), no matter where I stayed - mostly campsites and modest hostels in France, almost exclusively refugios in Spain - the person I dealt...

    Vicarie Pro - more than one person?

    Hi, I'm arriving in Santiago soon and was walking the Camino in memory of my parents who recently passed. Does anyone know if the office will allow more than one person to be added as "vicarie pro?"

    Getting stamps

    For those who have done the Norte and gone the alternate route out of Baamonde, have you found it difficult to get two stamps a day? Just wondering if we need to have a heads up about anything.

    Types of Compostela Certificates

    Six days out from Santiago on the Norte and have been talking with experienced pilgrims on the Certificates upon arriving in Santiago. I came back to this Forum to see if the answers were here and found that there is only one Certificate called the Compostela. Can anyone clear up and confirm...

    Passport stamps

    We are currently in Caminho Portugal and have decided to take a few days off to allow my wife’s blisters to heal a bit before moving on. My question is do we need to get daily stamps? We have rented a house quite a ways from a town and it’s going to be tough, although not impossible, to get...

    Stamps Question Again

    Hello everyone, I apologize because I know there are other threads on this topic and I have read them thoroughly but I just want to be super sure. When I did the Camino Primitivo in 2022, I got one stamp per day all the way through to the Cathedral and I was able to get my certificate. I’m...

    Unique diplomas, credentials or other things?

    When I walked the Camino Frances I got a midterm diploma in Sahagún. When I walked the Camino San Salvador I bought a "San Salvador" credential in Leon that was different from the "normal" credential. Is there anything special about the Camino Via de la Plata that I should be aware of so that I...

    E-bike users now excluded from receiving a Compostela

    The Santiago cathedral has begun issuing a new version of its credencial. The new wording of the demand for two sellos per day every day has caused a lot of online debate. There has been less comment on another change which is far less ambiguous. The credencial now states that cyclists must...

    Last starting point to be eligible for a Compostela Certificate

    I have a friend joining me on my Portugués Camino in September. She intends to join me in Porrino to start walking. Will she be entitled to a Compostela with enough distance (100km)? I have seen conflicting things that some say Porrino is the last place to qualify and others say it needs to be...

    Hi everyone, What’s the waiting time to get your Compostela like these days? Last time I queued it was early October in 2022 (a double holy year) so it was very busy and we were waiting probably like 45 minutes - hour. I am bringing a group of 15 and curious to understand the wait time in mid...

    Hi everyone!! I have a question on obtaining a pilgrim passport in person in Spain. Has anyone received their passport in person in San Sebastien? I’ve read online the Albergue de Peregrinos and a few cathedrals can provide the passport but I’m hoping someone can confirm this from experience, or...
