My wife and I have previously done other Camino routes but that was many years ago. Now in our late 70s we want another experience on the Camino, starting from Toledo in mid March 2025.

Things are a bit easier now with gps, mobile phones and the excellent Buen Camino app, but we are not as young as we used to :(

We are keen to meet other pilgrims so will staying in albergues where possible, but also quite happy to use a hotel if available. I realise this is not a busy Camino route.

The albergue in Toledo looks like a good place to start. Does anyone know if credentials are available at that albergue or the cathedral ?

I don't know if credentials are available in Toledo, but you can order one from the the Australian Friends of the Camino.


Or you can buy one from the Camino Forum store.

 
I can't answer your credential question, but if you are going to start in Toledo, please give yourself a couple of days there. The El Greco, Santa Cruz, Alcazar, Synagogue and Sephardic museums and the Cathedral are all worth seeing if you have not been before.

Buen Camino!
 
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).

Here’s an idea. Check the time of the Easter week and spend it in Toledo. Spanish people told me that these are two magical cities in Spain, Santiago de Compostela and Toledo. Toledo is the seat of the Catholic church in Spain and Semana Santa there is something special. Top bucket list item. We stayed in a boutique hotel about 50 yards from the Cathedral. If you go to Mass ( you don’t have to be Catholic) you can miss the line-up of gawking and paying tourists. And I think they use a mass from around the 5th century or so ( permission from the Pope) which is something really special again.
