Best place to post parcel to in Santiago?

Hi Everyone

The first stop for me will be in Hospital de Orbigo for the Festival, before making my way to SJPDP.

Whilst in Hospital de Orbigo, I am hoping the hotel can help me to post a parcel to Santiago for collection at the end of my Camino. Can anyone please advise:
- Best/cheapest postal service to use?
- Best place to send it to (eg Ivar, Pilgrim House, post office)?
- Do these places charge a holding fee?
- Are some better than others for ease of access / pick up? (eg opening hours, location etc)

Thanks in advance for your help.

Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
I used ivar and thought the service was fabulous, and a great price. Sent using correos. I believe the price depends on the size of your box.
 
Altus BALI Sleeping bag liner
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.

€46,-

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,-
Today I sent a box of stuff to Ivar fro Puenta La Reina. The box cost 3 euros and about 14 euros to Santiago for 2 kilos. I believe there is a peregrino rate. The lady asked first up was it to Santiago.

Ivar, so this is my post to let you know that I hope to pick up the parcel hopefully on 6 June. Will let you know if the date changes.

Hi Joanne,
As for Pilgrim House, we only accept luggage/ packs in person from people who've already walked into Santiago (they usually leave them in order to explore Santiago, or walk to Finisterre and back, etc.). So Ivar and Correos are great options and we usually recommend those. Hope to see you when you're in town.
Buen Camino!
