Camino Frances (SJPP to Fisterra) (June/July 2015)
Hello, all!

Just finishing up our Camino (SJPP to Fisterra) and wondering which Correos office receives shipments sent ahead by pilgrims?

Also, I heard the Correos employee tell me that they charged 1 Euro a day after 2 weeks, but my wife thinks he said 5 per day. 5 seems too steep, so I hope I'm right.

Many thanks 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.

The Post Office where you collect items sent ahead is in the Rua Franco just round the corner from the Pilgrims Office. There is a Post Office desk in the Pilgrims Office just ask them for directions - it is 2 minutes away. However they usually only keep items for up to 15 days. Good luck.
 
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
Speaking of shipments; Ivar a huge thanks for the very speedy delivery of the items I ordered. I was amazed as how quickly they arrived here in Victoria, BC, Canada. The note book awaits some Haiku, the shell is already on my bag, as is the forum badge (along with my original Canadian Company of Pilgrims' badge. And a very tiny Canadian flag pin. 56 days to go.
