Post stuff to Santiago

Ria Mattheus

New Member
Hi, we walked the Camino in 2007 and posted some extra stuff to Santiago. We bought a carton box from the post office and sent the stuff in the box. Now we are planning to do the camino Norte and afterwards going to Europe for a week , so we must post! Question? Do we need to send our stuff in special boxes or are we able to send stuff in our own packages? And special sizes for posting?? Please?
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

Hi , Thanks for the reply, but we want to post our stuff from Madrid to Santiago! We did it previously. Thats why we want to know the sizes or if we can post our stuff in our own suitcase? And what is the adress again that you use if you post your stuff to Santiago's post office? I know they keep your parcel for 30 days in Santiago - is that still correct? Thanks again!
