What is the Compostela and where can I obtain it?

Compostela-camino-santiagoThe Compostela, or Pilgrim’s Certificate, is a document issued to pilgrims who have walked at least 100 kilometres to Santiago de Compostela (200 kilometres in the case of cyclists).  Once you show your fully-stamped Credencial at the Pilgrim’s Office in Santiago, you will receive your Compostela certifying that you have completed the Camino.
