Salamanca credencial

[Antnix1]

I'd advise people not to get their credential from Salamanca.

At first glance it appear clever, but each box has the name of a stage. If you deviate from their suggested stages, split stages (as i did with today's 35km stage) or double up you'll end up with blank boxes and/or no place for the stamp.

Their solution is the reverse side has a large blank page for "other stamps" although I usually asked albergues to stamp a blank area on the front or just stamp a wrong box.

I got my credencial in Salamanca and it is the same as what is sold here on the forum and also what I got in Seville. I didn't get it at the catedral tho. Where did you get yours?

The albergue

I got one of these a few years ago. It ended up being a mess. They're trying to reinvent the wheel and they should really leave it alone.

We have both kinds at the albergue, but we have only two left of the regular kind and  tons of the Salamanca specific ones. I asked my municipal contact for more of the regular ones but none have been forthcoming. Since we do have people asking for credencials who are not walking north on the VDLP (and thus  cannot use the Salamanca ones) I've been trying to keep my last couple of regular ones for them. Once they are gone, it seems, there will be no regular credencials available in Salamanca.

I wasn't pushing the Salamanca-specific ones until I found out I could get no new stock of the regulars.

Look for a deleted post. Someone may have posted on the wrong thread. I've done that a few times.

And thank you David for your Salamanca posts. Very informative and entertaining. And let me add, good looking hat.

I think I accidentally clicked on a "similar thread" at the bottom of my thread.
