What documents do I need to walk the Camino de Santiago?

To walk the Camino de Santiago, it’s essential to carry the Pilgrim’s Credential, which allows you to obtain the Compostela upon completing the route in Santiago, and also grants access to public hostels and other services, as well as possible discounts in museums, etc. Additionally, you’ll need a form of identification (ID or passport) to check into accommodations and other establishments.
