just want to come on here to say thank you for all the tips. I stayed in Saint Martin Hotel in Santiago as recommended on here. It was a great recommendation. We also had a drink in the Pardor hotel also recommended on here and I'd highly recommend it. We collected our certs today and my...
Hello. We are planning to walk part of the Vézelay route in September and I wondering if we could get credentials in the Bourges cathedral. Does anyone know if this is possible?
I’m days away from Santiago and looking for information on how to get my Compostela home undamaged. Are they issued with an envelope or is there a place nearby to buy a mailing tube or other that I can bring on an airplane?
I plan to cycle a bit of an unconventional route, from Santander but cutting south through the Picos de Europa mountains (I'm a glutton for punishment), and only partially overlapping with the Camino Primitivo/Norte. I'll be camping most of the time and will carry all my stuff with me...
Hey everyone,
Really grateful for some advice.
I recently completed my Camino Frances, and will now walk on Finisterre, then Muxia from tomorrow.
Like many others, I walked my Camino in memory of a deceased relative, in this case my mother who passed away last August. I was sure to ask about...
Buen Camino, Pilgrims! My daughter and I are planning our first Camino for this September. We are doing the physical training, the reading, beginning to gather items to pack and are following this forum and taking notes. Whew! We are getting more and more of a feel for the freedom and...
I had to discontinue my Camino at Frómista due to injuries. Can I still get my certificate/diploma when I get to Santiago another time/year if I pick up from where I left? Will it be the same certificate as if I hade done the Camino in one go, or is there anything I need to do?
Hello there!
I will be starting the Camino Primitivo on July 2nd (Sunday), arriving to Oviedo on the previous day, by bus, around 4:30pm.
As I would like that the first stamp on my credencial is the Cathedral's, do you happen to know if I can get a stamp there Saturday around 5:00pm or Sunday...
I am planning a November Camino starting in Astorga.
Where in Astorga can I get a Pilgrim Passport?
I plan to arrive on Sunday & start walking first thing on Monday.
Will I be able to get the Pilgrim Passport on Sunday afternoon?
I have walked the camino in June 2017
Any advice on a post covid...
Hello! Does anyone know if the cathedral in Vigo is open on Saturday, able to be issuing pilgrim passport booklets? I emailed the diocese office a couple weeks ago but no reply…. Thanks
So my 2 questions are .......
1) can you do a joint Credencial for a camino?
ie with two people's names (who are clearly walking) on the details page? So we would essentially then only need to carry one .....
2) how many pages are there for stamps on one side of a Credencial when its...
Realizing that many do not wish to collect a Compostela upon arrival in Santiago… I personally love getting the Compostela.
In the spirit of (to paraphrase an ancient Roman saying), “I came, I walked, I got one”.
I am running out of wall space. Must confess once I retired, I removed all my...
@Kathar1na posted this link on another thread about pre-registering for a Compostela, but I thought that it warrants the attention of a new thread. The translation into other languages has been greatly improved in this new version.

I understand that if you ride the Camino on horseback you can get the Compostela if you complete the last 100km, just like walking.
I recently learned that a stable offers one day rides from Sarria to Portomarin, which I would like to do. Does anyone know whether I would still qualify for the...
