- A "Tourigrino" trip once Covid has passed, so 2023
I've recounted how, on the last night of my Camino Ingles in May 2018, I lost both my British passport and my credencial - fortunately after getting my Compostela.
I reported both losses to the authorities and even checked with the Pilgrim Office when I returned to work there in the October.
Imagine my surprise today, six and a half years later, when the postman delivered a letter from the British Embassy in Madrid with the missing credencial! It's in pristine condition and there was no covering note to explain where it has been but I now have all six of them stored safely away.
The lesson being to make sure you write your contact details down as soon as the credencial is issued.
Buen Camino to all.
