Camino Km credits in Texas

Credited if you walk the Ingles. My understanding is that they aren’t “credited” for any other routes (eg you can’t do the Missions and then start the Frances at Portomarin and get a Compostela).

The Mission Trail starting in San Antonio ,Texas is a approximately 30 km Trail where 5 Missions are visited
The 30k are credited toward the Camino

A quick question: is the point that you can claim the 30 km in Texas and then just walk 70 km towards Santiego? In other words, I am wondering why this would count/be considered or be an issue if you walk at least the last 100 km to Santiego to get the "Compostela". Thanks.

Excellent information - here is a direct quote from the website above.
"
The El Camino de San Antonio Missions is a program offered by the Archdiocese of San Antonio that encourages and supports pilgrimage to these sacred sites. Today, the four missions churches still exist as active parishes.If you are interested in thiis program please visit the Padre Margil Pilgrimage Center located directly behind Mission Concepción, or their website.

San Antonio is the only place outside Europe where one can officially begin walking the El Camino de Santiago. Pilgrims who walk the entire route in San Antonio receive 30 km credit toward the Camino Ingles (English route) along the El Camino de Santiago, making El Camino de San Antonio part of an official route of the Camino in Spain."

It clearly says here that the credit on the USA mission walk in San Antonio only applies for the Ingles.
