I've searched all over the forum, but can't find an answer. This question is so basic I'm sure it must have been answered.
In Santiago where and how do I turn in my credenciales? What time should I plan to arrive? What time is the pilgrim's mass? Is it every day?
We have 7 more stages on the...
I have just emptied my house and put everything into storage while major building work is done. In the process I discovered my credencial, diary and Compostela from my 1990 Camino which I thought I had lost for good years ago. I've just noticed a curious detail on the Compostela. The cathedral...
A friend is walking the Frances to honor a loved one who passed. Can he get a compostella in the name of the loved one or have that person's name added to his compostella?
Having a little bit of free time (as there is nothing to do for me in Lugo now, even the cathedral was closed in the afternoon, where I wished to spend some hours in prayer), I tried to fill the registration form for the compostella and got stuck.
We (me and my son) are walking the Camino...
I'm here and still have two weeks left after I finish the English Way tomorrow.
Does anyone know if you can start the Primitive (at Lugo) following it to where it joins the Frances, then bus back to Sarria on the Francés and walking back to the where the Primitive joins the CF and finish up...
Most of us use gronze for its up to date information on routes, stages, accommodations, etc, but they also routinely publish write-ups about a variety of topics.
Today, I ran across one that lists the 21 certificates you can get on the Camino along with two that you can’t get. It’s done in...
Hey there, I am completing my first camino frances from Saint Jean Pied de Port by foot and unfortunately realized 500km in that I needed to get one stamp a day. I had been collecting stamps sporadically something like 1 every 2-3 days. Thankfully, I am over the 100km mark still so I can start...
Just looking at my credential del Peregrino and I see you have to register. Can I register anytime before I walk or wait until the first day of walk? I'm assuming I just use the QR code to register!
Two dear friends who completed the Camino Frances with me very sadly suffered a house fire last year. The entire contents of their home were lost. Does anyone know if there is any way to obtain replacement compestelas for them please?
Hello!
I’m starting my Camino soon (having never done anything like it before) and I wanted to check, do I need to bring anything/ register anywhere first in order to get my Pilgrim Passport in Saint Jean?
Thank you :)
I've been a bit over eager to obtain stamps and I'm not sure I will have enough, especially after Sarria.
What options are there for getting either a new one or additional pages. Also, where would I obtain them.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Buen Camino
Hi all. Me and my wife are starting our Camino tomorrow. We have pre-registered for our credentials and my wife has received her QR code but I have not despite sending mine yesterday and also tried again today. If I don’t receive it before going to Porto cathedral today what will they do ...
Hello I wonder if anyone can help. I have an unused Holy Year Passport, unused. I am walking again this year and wondered if there is an issue using this passport or do I need to get another one?
Thanks for any assistance.

We went to the Santuario de La Peregrino today to get half way certificate in Sahagun. We paid our entry fees and loved the beautiful museum - on exiting we needed to ask for the stamp, which was given. There was however, no certificates in sight, we returned a few hours later to request the...
Hi everyone,
I'm on the Camino Frances and I started from León. I just realised that I was meant to double stamp on the last 100km. I thought this was just for those only doing the last 100km, which was a silly misunderstanding.
I have 40km (2 days left) so will do it from now on, but will I...
Hi I will be starting the Portuguese coastal from Porto 31st of September. Do I sign my pilgrim passport prior to getting it stamped in Porto cathedral.
First Camino so it's all new to me.
Seamus.
Buen camino
How do you get the camino stamp in Portugal if you occasionally travel or stay off-stage? I will be going on my first camino in April, 2024 along the Camino Portugues, starting from Lisbon. I searched on the forum, and unless I missed it, my question has not been previously posted.
