The Pilgram's Passport
The pilgram's passport or Credencial Del Peregrino is the document that identifies us as pilgrims. We'll get it stamped along the way at churches and restaurants we stop at and where we sleep at night.
To qualify as a true Camino we must walk at least 100 kilometers. Our route is 150 miles (about 241 kilometers) so we'll have no problem there. We also need to get our passport stamped at least once a day and for the last 100 kilometers we need two or three stamps a day.
Once we reach Santiago de Compostela we present our passport at the Pilgrim's Office and receive our compostela. This is a Catholic certificate which proves we completed the pilgrimage. When we are done our passports might look something like this one.
