Getting our Compostela in Santiago
After walking the required 100 km and collecting the stamps on the Credencial del Peregrino (also known as the Passport) from the places we passed through to certify that we had been there, we received our official document from the church in Santiago. Stamps from churches, hostels, monasteries, cathedrals and all places related to the Way are preferred, but they can also be stamped in other institutions: town halls, cafés, etc. You have to stamp the Credencial twice a day at least on the last 100 km.
