Time of past OR future Camino
2018
Hi, will be starting my first ever "Baby Camino" from A Guarda the 20th of May 2018. Probably a stupid question, but where in A Guarda do I get a cello? And does it matter whether you get it in the evening before or the next morning?
Staying at Monumento Convento de San Benito.
Thanks in advance
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
You can get a Sello from the Convento, from a nearby bar, anywhere almost. And get two per day from somewhere and from where you stay until you get to Santiago.
One of my most treasured credencials bears not a Sello but a signature and a date - Miguel, queserio, Tresviso 19 Julio, another bears the smudged stamp from the Club Roque in Malaga, another the Estacion Ferrocarril in Ferrol. They all count.
 
We got our stamp in a hotel in A Guarda but there is an albergue too.
 
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
There is a tourist office where you exit the ferry from Portugal. You can get a sello there. Also in your hotel. Stayed there last June, great place, very historical.
 
And remember that the double L makes a Y sound in Spanish. So ask for a "say-o" not a "sel-o".
 
Join the Camino cleanup. Logroño to Burgos May 2025 & Astorga to OCebreiro in June
