    Why 100km for compostela

    I belive to get the compostela one needs to have walked the last 100km and got two stamps per day. When was this rule introduced and was it controversial? Also, if someone has walked from St Jean or Puy or Paris, would they be refused a compostela if they only had one stamp on one of the last days?

I assumed I would but I was curious if some people don't care for...

    Credencial in Oviedo

    Hi, is it practical to get my 'credencial' in Oviedo? I thought it would be somewhat symbolic to get it at the Cathedral before starting my Primitivo Camino. Any specifics/problems I should know of in waiting till I get there to get mine? Thanks

    The Vanity Project

    I finally got around to having my Compostela and certificates framed. Doing so was more time consuming, irritating and painful than walking. The first attempt by the framers had everything at odd angles (5cm from frame on one corner 2cm from frame in another), items incorrectly mounted, glops...

    New Pilgrim Credential / Passport

    There are some minor (and good) changes in the new Pilgrim Credential. 1. The credential now includes a QR code to scan, which will take you to the Registration webpage. Very handy, as you are now a click/scan away. 2. It's eliminated 'Passport Number' and 'Address' (thank God), I have had...

    My husband ND I will walk the Camino in June 2025. Starting in Sarria. Since Sarria is the starting point to begin our required 100 kms, do we make sure to get the two stamps as soon as possible in Sarria? Our hotel for one, but the other from a cafe, bar, or church? I know going forward from...
