The “Compostela

Just outside the cathedral, below the Hostal de los Reyes Católicos and the Convent of San Francisco, on the corner of Rua Domingo García-Sabell and Rua de Carretas, now houses the Pilgrims’ Welcome Office (Oficina De Acogida Al Peregrino), which issues the “compostela” – the traditional pilgrimage certificate in Latin – to those who can show that they have completed at least the last 100 kilometers on foot or horseback, or the last 200 kilometers by bicycle (two stamps per day are required on the latter part of the route). A room has been dedicated to Jeannine Warcollier since 2015.
