    Carry on luggage with Vueling…how strict are they on dimensions?

    My experience is that they are picky on the size if the flight is full… otherwise not so much.

    🚄 New high speed train Madrid Oviedo

    It is a big investment, but it will be there "forever". The good thing is that is will cut down on shorter flights internally in Spain. Less pollution... And then we have this... https://www.politico.eu/article/spain-aims-to-say-adios-to-short-haul-flights/ It is all part of a plan I think.

    Correos at SCQ Airport?

    They had an office there before the pandemic, but I think they never opened it up after things opened up again. Last time I look, it was not there. Nothing mentioned on the airport page here: https://www.aena.es/en/santiago-rosalia-de-castro.html

    Problem shipping to Casa Ivar

    I have heard this before... but if you want to ship it here, who are they to tell you where you should ship it? They are probably just trying to help... but... Either way, if you sent it to the post office you will most likely be fine. No stress. :) Buen Camino! Ivar

    Transport to Ivar

    You can send it however you want, but the post office works well. The only negative is that if there is a problem, their customer service once you are in Spain is close to zero. As an alternative, you can ship with a private shipper like DHL. Search google maps for locations around you. Also...

    Pack transport and storage Pamplona to Lisbon

    Many times what happens when you send things across the border with the post office is the following. You ship it from France or Portugal with the post office there. Once it reaches Spain most of the time (depending on the shipping product you bought I think) it does not get taken over by the...

    Volotea, a low cost airline based in Spain

    They used to fly out of Santiago a few years ago but stopped. I have not used them, but not heard anything bad about them either... if you find a flight you like, I would go for it.

    Sending package to Ivar from CDG airport

    I know why... when you send with the French postal service, the parcel is given to SEUR once it enters Spain. SEUR is a private shipper. When they try to deliver to the post office in Santiago, the post office will ask for payment for using their storage service. This is free if you use Correos...

    Sending package to Ivar from CDG airport

    I do receive parcels from France, and it does work well. The only problem is that IF there is a problem, customer service from the French postal service, once you are in Spain (when you realize there is a problem), is close to zero. You can also use private shippers (more expensive, but better...
