Compostela: Spanish v Latin

[Joe English]

In another newsgroup a participant wrote the following, regarding the
process of being issued with his Compostela: "You stand in line, approach
the counter, fill in a statistical sheet, and indicate your motive for
doing the trek.If you put down "religious" in that box, and if you have
fulfilled the distance requirements (as demonstrated in your Credencial),
they issue you the old Compostela in Latin. If you put down, "tourism" or
"adventure" or something indicating a non-religious purpose, they give
you a simpler certificate in Spanish. I saw this happen last month."
Does anyone else know of this differentiation?
Any information would be helpful.
Thanks
Joe
