The Pilgrim Reception Office of Santiago de Compostela is just a few minutes walk from Plaza Obradoiro as shown on the map to the side.
The Welcome Centre of the Cathedral of Santiago is the place where pilgrims arrive for information, assistance and to request their Compostela certificate.
In 2016 the ’Distance Certificate’ was added, which records any distance that you may have walked, cycled or ridden by horse, from any point along the route.
You may request this is an addition to your Compostela but it’s not a requirement to have completed the 100km minimum pilgrimage.
