I'm planning to use Correos Paq Mochila service for the first stage of the CF, starting from Roncesvalles to Pamplona. Hoping someone who has used this service can help answer this question - Using Correos on-Line booking, I'm not seeing Albergue de Roncesvalles in the "Accommodations for first day pick-up". Do I select another accommodation and leave my bag there for Corres to pick up ? Thank you in advance !

Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.

Welcome TonyMac. We have used Correos previously when we walked the Camino del Norte in 2018, they are very good.
Hopefully if we can walk next year we will be using them again. Because of this we have just recently emailed them to ask a number of questions regarding our 2022 plans. We also asked the question you are asking.
The response was that you will need to meet with a Correos person at a bus stop very near the Albergue, between 8.00hrs and 8.30hrs, and give them your bags.
Our daughter used this service when she walked the Frances in 2018 and did exactly what Correos said to do re baggage collection and it worked perfectly.
We had an email reply to our enquiries within 24 hrs, they are very efficient. We also emailed them in English and they replied in English.
When we walked the Norte we had to contact them a couple of times by phone and there was always someone who was able to speak English.
We would suggest you arrange the pick up in Roncesvalles with them by email or phone the day before you require the pickup.
Their contact email address is on their website.
Hope this has helped.
Buen Camino.

Correlation will have a pick up point, you leave your bag there. You will find Jacobtrans and Correa generally have different drop off/pick up points. Hospitaleros will know where these are.
