I'm sorry if this has been covered lately but can someone update me on the pilgrim office? I'm on the Portuguese and will be in Santiago in a few days. I've registered on the Cathedral website for my Compostela but I'm curious how things are? Is it busy? Are there queues? Is the system the...

Hi brains trust, we have been to l'eglise St. Trophime but could only get a stamp. We then went to the parish office at 12 rue de cloitre and have knocked on the door (yesterday afternoon and again this morning in office hours) without success. Does anyone know where else to try? We walk out...

With Notre Dame closed and Tour Jacques rarely open for stamps, where do you get stamps in Paris? The tourist office did stamp mine but where are the usual others?

I have received conflicting information on obtaining the Compostela. We have walked more than 100km since beginning our Camino journey and are wondering if that qualifies for a Compostela or must we parade with all the others from Sarria and fight for accommodations etc? Hoping any 100km is the...

I tried searching for the answer to this but came up short so wondering whether anyone can help. Long story short, 8 years ago I lost my and my friend's certificate in between the compostela office and the hotel. At the time we both didn't take any notice but a few years later my friend...

I hear there is a pretty sello available in Pamplona around the University—anyone know exactly where? Thanks.

I’m starting the CP - Central and am looking for details about the Cathedral starting point, like can I get my credential there with a starting validation, are there specific opening hours, if the credential is not available at the cathedral, then where? Any veterans of the CP available to...

My apologies if this has been answered but I cannot seem to find an answer on the forum. Where may I get my credencial in Irun if arriving later in the day. My flight lands at 17:15 on May 9. Thank you.

Hello friendly forum :) My now-husband and I walked the Camino Frances in 2016 (best thing I've ever done and we ended up getting married on the day we reached Santiago two years later!) but I had some feet issues that meant we had to get a bus forward from Puente la Reina to Logroño. We are...

Hi all! I was planning on walking the Camino del Norte from the 10th of july to around the 17th of august. After that I wanted to meet up with my girlfriend on the 30th of August in Lisbon. This means, I’ll have around 12 or 13 (13!!!) days left after arriving in Santiago. I was thinking about...

Hello, I'm arriving at SJPDP train station at 20.30 on Monday 8th, will the Pilgrim Office be closed? I think I read that's when they close. I wanted to buy my Credencial that evening - before going to accommodation to get my first stamp! Might I have trouble getting into accommodation without...

There has been a meeting this week of representatives of municipalities along the Caminos. One of the topics under discussion has been ways of encouraging more pilgrims to walk longer distance journeys on the Camino Frances. One suggestion was that pilgrims who walk longer distances should...

This may be a question no one can answer, but if I arrive in Santiago de Compostela about noon on a Sunday at the beginning of July, what are the chances of my getting a Compostela on the same day?

Where is the Pilgrim's Office in Leon located? I walked from SJPP last year and plan to complete my Camino this year. A friend is walking this portion with me so she will have to register. I registered last year --- do I have to register again?

Do people ever go through more than one credential (acquiring stamps) during the Frances Camino?

We walking from Burgos to Santiago. At Ponferrada we leave the Frances and pick up the Invierno. The app makes me pick a Camino. If I pick Invierno I can’t put Burgos as my starting point. Comments/ideas?

Tomorrow evening I will arrive at a hotel and the tourist office will already be closed. On Sunday it will be closed too. The hotel hasn't a special Csmino stamp. Will another stamp do? Astrid
