{{quote|The Holy Apostolic Metropolitan Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela expresses its warm welcome to the Tomb of the Apostle St. James the Greater; and wishes that the holy Apostle may grant you, in abundance, the graces of the Pilgrimage.}}

The Pilgrim's Office gives more than 100,000 compostelas each year to pilgrims from more than 100 different countries. However, the requirements to earn a Compostella insure that not everyone who walks on the Camino receives a Compostella.<ref>https The requirements for receiving a Compostella are://oficinadelperegrino.com/en/pilgrimage/the-compostela/</ref>

1) make the Pilgrimage for religious/spiritual reasons or at least have an attitude of search, 2) do the last 100 km on foot or horseback or the last 200 km by bicycle. Wheelchair pilgrims also have a minimum distance. 3) collect stamps on your Credencial at least two per day for the last 100 km. <ref>https://oficinadelperegrino.com/en/pilgrimage/the-compostela/</ref>
