Camino de Santiago\u2019s Passport.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A pilgrim\u2019s passport is a must, (also known as a credential). The passport will have\u00a0spaces for sellos, (stamps), this proves that you have walked that day. The passport often ends up being a treasured possession<\/strong> as it is a great reminder of all the places you have stopped and stayed overnight. \u00a0The stamps are all different and almost all bars and cafes will have one.<\/p>\n

How will we do the Camino?<\/strong><\/p>\n
