Sorry to learn that you are feeling pooped. You could send you bag to Ivar in Santiago.
See more here-- http://www.casaivar.com/luggage-storage-in-santiago-de-compostela/index.html
Many organized luggage services stop in winter but you might mail the bag at the local post office/Correos which opens at 8:30 tomorrow and is located at
calle Ramon Franco, 38.
Keep warm and rest well tonight.
Hope that you feel better soon.
Yes. The Spanish Post Office have a service for transporting rucksacks. It works out at just over 4 Euro a day. It is very reliable. The hospilario in your Albergue will help you set it up.Bueno Dias ,

Great advice Annie. !Hi @Jim irish
You’ve got best advice above but I’m thinking Arzúa is only approx 45 minutes by bus to Santiago.
If you are still unwell, get yourself to Santiago de Compostela. See to your well being there. If you feel better and have time., leave your heavy stuff in sdc and bus or taxi back to Arzúa and complete the walk.
Just an idea. I hope you’re better soon.
Buen Camino.
Annie
I am lying in bed , browsing through the forum and reading obliviously varied posts here and there old and new ... Quite relaxing actually ... Btw my bed for the night is in o pedrosa and tomorrow night will be Santiago .... Lemsips are brilliant and I have used them over the years , trick is a little over indulging in them ... Rained all day the only thing that changed was strength ... But you can only get so wet and then you are immune to the rain and you begin to focus on the moment ... I love days like today when it all makes sense , no matter how many books you read . I think we all inherintly know that love is the way , is the message or whatever you want to call it ... Thanks again for all the replies , another good rest and one final stroll ....
Ps I carried my bag , but I lightened my load and unloaded some stuff I didn't really need plus dropped off some worry stones I had been carrying for others .
Looking forward to tomorrow and will enjoy whatever weather comes my way ....
Too all I met today , buen Camino , yoi Camino and guter Camino ....
Congratulations, Jim!!!I feel like a million bucks but quite humble at the same time
Well done, sir! Hope you have a great day.View attachment 37794 made it .... Left o pedrosa in the dark this morning and the woodland walk was interesting , loads of owls and noises that make your mind question ...lol... Was hoping the fog would have lifted by Monte de Gonzo but sadly not so I rested and left my remaining stones there ... Had a plane fly in just as I was rounding the airport which was crazy to watch in the fog as the noise approaches and only at the last min the plane and light bursted through the the fog like from another dimension ...
The same as the last time I felt a bit empty at the cathedral coming from nature and being surrounded by egos I suppose and then getting ejected from the cathedral because I had my backpack on my back and they aren't allowed seemingly ... I don't remember this ... All I wanted was to say a prayer of gratitude but there is more than one altar in town so I offered my prayers at the Franciscan cathedral .... A prayer is a prayer whether offered in front of a tree or a toilet and a security guard wasn't quenching my fire ....
I feel like a million bucks but quite humble at the same time ... And again thank you so much for advice and even the comments are comforting and make one feel your not alone ...
Buen Camino to all , as it goes on and on .....
Congratulations Jim. Safe journey home. Wrap up well, it is very cold here in Dublin today.
I know you made it! Congratulations! But in case anyone else needs assistance with a pack, you can have a bag sent ahead to the next destination from O'Cebriero to Santiago all year long on the CF. see
