2 | Pick up the Lebaniego Credential & Paper Map in San Vicente de la Barquera

Pilgrims should visit the Tourist Information Center in San Vicente de la Barquera to obtain their official “Credencial” for this separate Camino route. If you have already been walking the Camino del Norte, you can easily use your current Credencial. What I loved about the Lebaniego Credencial is that it is packed with colorful maps, phone numbers, and little tidbits about the route.

The “Credenciales,” or Pilgrim passport, is stamped daily along the way and provides discounts and the ability to sleep in Municipal Albergues (Public Albergues). In fact, the San Vicente de la Barquera Tourist Information Center will give you your first stamp!

The Lebaniego Credential is completely free and becomes an incredible souvenir and a useful tool for walking the Camino Lebaniego.

The San Vicente de la Barquera Tourist Information Center also has a fantastic Camino Lebaniego Map. The map shows route overviews, water sources, points of interest, services, and even alternative routes. I used my paper map daily and was so happy to have it.
