I would check the main church in both towns. Look around for the priest if the building is open. Your best bet, if you're passing through Porto, is to obtain one in the cathedral (Sé do Porto) near the Saõ Bento train station. Boa sorte!

Thanks- I am from the UK, but in Mason, Ohio at moment flying home tonight for 24 hours and then going straight to Portugal - it’s all a bit last minute for various reasons but get to Caminha 48 hours from now at around. 1700 and will start walking next morning.
 
Okay. Caminha has a tourist information office in the old town hall right on the main square. I'd stop there first and explain my situation. They might have some suggestions.
 
Altus BALI Sleeping bag liner
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-

Just to follow up here, there is a newsagent on the square that sells them. You need to spell out exactly what you mean.

A newsagent! Who would have thunk it? You're one lucky dude, TravelingMan22!
 
Camino Way markers in Bronze
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

Ha ha. I guess you’re right. It wasn’t WH Smith or Hudson News, just a small place on the square. It was tough going! I mimicked a credential and they brought a book out, I mimicked a stamp and they bought a postage stamp out and finally they pointed out a credential right in front of me
