CREDENTIAL

The pilgrim's credential is the document in which the stamps of the places through which they pass are coined and which will be used to obtain the "Compostela", the "Fisterrana" and / or the "Muxiana". In the case of Compostela, you must prove that you have done a minimum of 100km on foot or on horseback or 200 by bicycle.

 

HEALTH

Spanish pilgrims must always travel with a health card. If you come from another member country of the European Union, it is advisable to have a European health card. If you come from a non-EU country, you should know that there are countries that have agreements with Spain, so it will be important to get this information before starting the trip.
