Posting to Santiago - size limit?

Time of past OR future Camino
Planning to walk the Camino Frances mid May 2018
Will be arriving at Madrid airport May 16 and as staying several more months in Europe post Camino will have a medium size suitcase in addition to my pack. Read that there is a post office at the airport. Want to get my suitcase glad-wrapped and then send straight from the airport post office. Does anybody know whether they have size limits? Eg only cartons up to a size? Suitcase won’t fit in a box.
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-
From my experience, if your suitcase is all ready to go for shipment, the Madrid airport post office will be able to take it and ship it. If you need packaging in order to mail it, then you'll need to obtain a suitable shipping box elsewhere; what they have for that purpose is not going to be large enough.
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Thanks. If can’t fit in box should be wrapped w foil which should be good. Will see whether I can contact correos

Here is a pic from 2016, I love the simplicity of the sketch map and directions "1 km climb up, 5km flat, 5km down". I wonder how the prices are now?
