I will be staying in Paris prior to starting out, and I want to be able to mail my nice city clothes to Barcelona, either to the hotel or another location for pick up. Has anyone done this? Any ideas?

JudyRS,

For starters see these two useful Forum threads --

el-camino-frances/topic12880.html

and

equipment-questions/topic8553.html

Also Ivar has a handy luggage holding service in Santiago. See this Forum topic >>

Buen Camino,

Yes - many times. Hotels are generally very happy to keep things until your arrival. Post offices in Spain only keep things for a maximum of 15 days. Ivar charges - hotels do it for nothing.

Johnny, unless the rules have recently changed, I sent a parcel last September while on the Camino and collected it 25 days later at the main Santiago post office. Anne
