I am fascinated by documents and plan my Caminos around them, even though they are clearly secondary to the experience of pilgrimage itself.

Are there certificates available beyond the Compostela, certificate of welcome (for those who don't walk for religious or spiritual reasons), distance certificate, certificate for visiting the cathedral in Santiago (even without walking any distance), Fisterrana and Muxiana? I have all of those. However, I noticed a thread mentioning an Ayeguiana, and I met a pilgrim who mentioned a halfway certificate on the French Way.

I don't know about other documents in the Camino de Santiago, but you can get the 'Testimono' at the Via Francígena to Rome, after 140km walking.

Thank you, Anamya. I'm also aware of the certificates for pilgrimage to Assisi and Trondheim. However, I can't confirm that there is indeed a halfway certificate on the French Way.

Maybe you can contact the albergue in Ayegui by email and ask about it. This page has the contacts. It also says they issue the Ayeguiana.

Thanks again, Anamya. That's a good lead on the first 100 km certificate available at Ayegui.

Hi, I you walk the most beautiful camino of them all, el Camino del Salvador, between Leon and Oviedo you will be able to get a "Salvadorana",
‘Quien va a Santiago y no al Salvador, visita al criado pero no a su Señor’, meaning ‘Those who go to Santiago and not to Salvador (Oviedo), visit the servant (St James Apostle) and not the Lord (Jesus Christ)’.

I got that one last year. The guy pulled a pack of them out of the drawer and told us to sign our own names! It's a nice certificate though.

We are at Sahagun and just got ourhalf way certificate from the Iglesia Senora la Peregrina. It cost €3 which included entry to the museum/church. The English translation of the certificate is beautiful, with the town wishing you a safe journey.
The office is located in the church and is closed between 2-4pm.

One can also get a certificate entitled "Pedronia" by visiting Iria Flavia and the Church of St. James in Padron.
