Credential Book for Camino Lebaniego

[Raymond Aquilina]

Dear all,
I will be starting the Camino Lebaniego for San Vincente de la Barquera on the 7th October and I am not sure from where to obtain the credentail book for this Camino. Does anyone know if I can obtain it from San Vinte de La Barquera. I want to be sure to have it with me when I start the Camino.
Someone told me that they give it at Santander and Santillana del Mar but I will travel direct from Bilbao to San Vincente de La Barquera. Maybe I can obtain it at Bilbao ??
Thank you in advance,
Raymond Aquilina

When I was in San Vicente in May this year (I hiked the Norte in the opposite direction), the local tourist office had special credentials for the Lebaniego. I got one for free. At the albergue I was told that pilgrims can also get them at the church on top of the hill.

Very well ...thank you . I suppose this is the Iglesia de Santa Maria de Los Angeles on top of the hill. According to Google this opens every day.

Thank you so much.

I see you are from Malta, you can also get a credential from your local Camino Society... it won't be specific to the Lebagieno, but can act as a back up just I case... https://xircammini.org/friends-of-the-way-malta/friends-of-the-way-malta/

The credential for the Camino Lebaniego ("Año jubliar 2023-2024") is more like a brochure (with 24 pages). It contains maps, accommodation suggestions and additional information concerning the historical background of this camino and others nearby (Vadiniense, Lebaniego Asturiano, Lebaniego Leonés, Lebaniego Castellano). There is space for 32 stamps (more than enough).

I'll probably use it next year in spring.

Thanks for this information I had not read that anywhere. I love to get a Credential that is a reminder and also a Souvenir. I usually bring an Irish one with me also.
