This is the Credencial de Peregrino (Pilgrim Passport) that was issued to me by the Amigos del Camino in Granada. It confers on me the official status of pilgrim to Santiago. Every place I stop for the night along the way I have to get a sello (stamp) from a church, town hall, police station, tourist office or hotel which is signed and dated to prove I passed that way. When I get to Santiago I will present it for scrutiny to the cathedral officials who will then give me a compostela which is the certificate to prove I completed the pilgrimage.
