The Credencial, or Pilgrim’s Passport, is a small folded document that records the places that a pilgrim passes through on their way to Santiago de Compostela. Along the Camino, pilgrims request a dated stamp at every overnight lodgings, thus verifying that they have covered at least 100 kilometers, the minimum required to obtain a pilgrim’s certificate.
CaminoByTheWay provides this document to each pilgrim before they begin their journey.
