Luggage storage

[Jackjordan26]

Hey I’m looking at starting my Camino from Burgos in about 2-3 days. I’m wanting to use casa ivar storage. Has anyone used this service before? It sounds very good the webpage is just a little confusing. Do I need to contact them before to organise storage or do I just send my things to the address and it will be fine to pick up after my Camino? I have sent a couple emails but I’m just wondering what the process is as I want to start as soon as possible but just have a large backpack I need send to Santiago before I begin. Any help would be greatly appreciated Thank you!

Hi there,

Sorry for the confusing website (It is on my to do list to fix that).... You do not need to let me know in advance if you are shipping it to me yourself. You can if you want, but it is not needed.

So just ship it to the address you find here:

Send your luggage to Santiago, we will store it for you (2024)

Send your luggage to me in Santiago de Compostela

casaivar.com

..and pick it up once in Santiago. We are 150m from the cathedral. We have these opening hours for pickup:

Awesome mate! I greatly appreciate the response. I’ll be hopefully sending it off today and starting in the next 2 days. See you at the end!

Hey ivar. I’m trying to send my bag today and just had a few questions from the correos. They told me if I send my bag today before 5:30 it will arrive tomorrow. I’m not sure what time it will arrive but it needs to be signed for. I was told if there was nobody there to sign for my package it will be taken back to the correo office in Santiago de compostela and will only be held there for 14 days. I’m not sure how this will work as the hours of your business aren’t open all day. Do other people have this problem or will it be okay to send my bag? Also if there is nobody at your office when my bag arrives and it is taken bag to the Correo office is there any way you would be able to collect it for me? Thank you

No worries. we will be there and can sign for it. The Correos delivery guy knows our hours...

Worst case, if it ends up at the post office (200 meters from us) we can go and pick it up there... as long as it is shipped to us of course (we can not pick up anything that is not addressed to us).

So send away, we will take care of it until you arrive.

Okay thanks! I spoke with the correo again and we thought that they might be aware of your opening times. We included on the bag when you would be open so hopefully there’s no issues. Look forward to the journey and hearing from you soon! Appreciate the assistance.

We've used Ivar's service several times and it works perfectly.
