Pilgrim's Passport

A Pilgrim's Passport is a document used by travelers undertaking the Camino de Santiago, a historic pilgrimage route in Spain. It serves as an official record of the journey, allowing pilgrims to collect stamps at various albergues (hostels), churches, and landmarks along the way. These stamps verify the route traveled and are essential for receiving the final Compostela certificate at the end of the pilgrimage. The passport helps ensure the traveler’s journey is documented, provides a sense of accomplishment, and offers practical benefits like discounts or accommodations. It symbolizes commitment and serves as a cherished memento of the pilgrimage experience.
