Nice thanks.See
Los sellos del Camino
Recopilacion de los sellos que los peregrinos estampan en su credencial de camino a Santiago de Compostelawww.lossellosdelcamino.com
How do you think places get reviews or information posted online about them in the first place? Better yet, have you heard of Wikipedia, or Yelp, or Instagram or Facebook?That’s a HUGE task given that nearly every bar, restaurant, hotel, and sometimes roadside stands have a stamp. I’ve found great joy being surprised every time I get a sello through not knowing what it will be.
On the Frances; if there isn’t a sign up saying ‘no sello’ it’s highly probable that there is one.Wise Pilgrim or whichever app needs a seal/stamp locator function with preview images. Albergues are a given, but it’d be cool to know which other places have seals or even what they look like, like a map overlay.
Yipes! Dear friend, this site (like the Camino) is a place of kindness and people assisting others in a friendly manner. Dial it down a bit and appreciate that much of the work of Pilgrim websites and Apps are done at a very low profit or even nonprofit by kind Camino Angels. Your tone above can easily be misinterpreted as attacking and I’m sure you didn’t mean it that way.How do you think places get reviews or information posted online about them in the first place?

It’s definitely NOT “nearly” every bar and restaurant, and since you’ve taken the time to think thru a reply I hope you’re not suggesting the code would be difficult/complicated.
You are correct. It’s not “nearly”…it’s “EVERY”! Spain requires an official stamp for businesses. They may not be the fancy or pilgrim ones you are seeking, but it’s their sello and recognized as such by the Pilgrim’s Office in Santiago.It’s definitely NOT “nearly” every bar and restaurant
Since the code is so simple, perhaps you might volunteer to create it. I know it is beyond my capabilities.I hope you’re not suggesting the code would be difficult/complicated.

Obviously “Camino specific” is what I’m talking about.You are correct. It’s not “nearly”…it’s “EVERY”! Spain requires an official stamp for businesses. They may not be the fancy or pilgrim ones you are seeking, but it’s their sello and recognized as such by the Pilgrim’s Office in Santiago.
As some helpful people have already commented usefully, there are databases. However, thank you for your contribution.Do the search on your own, dude. Nobody is going to do it for you. Wise Pilgrims has too many other things to deal with keeping the "important" things up to date. GHEEZ!
Thanks!Perhaps you might enjoy
this earlier thread which displays what some consider their most prefered sellos.
Just about every business along the Camino will happily give you a stamp, not to mention every govt office, so it would be a very cluttered map.Wise Pilgrim or whichever app needs a seal/stamp locator function with preview images.

Online tools are clearly and specifically data that people compile for other people.Do the search on your own, dude. Nobody is going to do it for you. Wise Pilgrims has too many other things to deal with keeping the "important" things up to date. GHEEZ!
Los sellos del camino already does this and has some maps but without location services. It may be seemingly many places in whichever given town, but it is very much not “every business”.Just about every business along the Camino will happily give you a stamp, not to mention every govt office, so it would be a very cluttered map.
Interesting! As an erstwhile IT project manager, 'cool' never got any traction as a justification in any functional use case, and I would have been politely shown out of the room presenting it in a business case.Albergues are a given, but it’d be cool to know which other places have seals or even what they look like, like a map overlay.
Indeed. I suggest most where there is a strong commercial imperative to have a presence, and they are more likely to provide their own data for that. Organisations that pay to collect data are more often ensuring that it is behind a paywall or have other arrangements for recovering the costs of their data collection efforts.Online tools are clearly and specifically data that people compile for other people.
As actual useful replies have noted, los sellos del Camino mostly does what I asked about.Interesting!

As an aside, you now join the ranks of the members here who float their fantastic idea about improving the Camino that involves someone other than them doing something, often with no obvious reward.
And that is a labour of love by someone who was prepared to follow up on his vision by actually taking action, engaging collaborators in that endeavour, etc. Not someone just recommending that others do that for him. There is a difference!As actual useful replies have noted, los sellos del Camino mostly does what I asked about.
I welcome any helpful information/ contribution at all.And that is a labour of love by someone who was prepared to follow up on his vision by actually taking action, engaging collaborators in that endeavour, etc. Not someone just recommending that others do that for him. There is a difference!
As others have mentioned, every business in Spain is required, by law, to have a rubber stamp. Some of them are friendly enough to stamp your credencial for you.Los sellos del camino already does this and has some maps but without location services. It may be seemingly many places in whichever given town, but it is very much not “every business”.
I think it’s pretty clear I’m not talking about McDonald’s or CobBay or Alimerka.As others have mentioned, every business in Spain is required, by law, to have a rubber stamp. Some of them are friendly enough to stamp your credencial for you.

Thanks for presenting this idea. If anyone wants to explore it further with you, perhaps a private Conversation would be a good way to proceed.I welcome any helpful information/ contribution at all.
