Cost of posting a package to Santiago

[lindseh]

As I'm spending a few weeks in Spain off the Camino, I'm bringing some non-pilgrim clothes. However, I'm trying to weigh the benefits of bringing more and having to pay more to send it, or bringing a minimum of extra clothes and saving on postage.

Does anyone know how expensive it is to mail a package from San Sebastian to Santiago? Approximate cost per kilo? Even a ballpark estimate? I have no idea if it will cost me €15 or €100...

Thanks, as always, to the brilliant people here who always have an answer.
Ultreia,
Lindsey

Hi, Lindsey,

I always send a package from Madrid to Santiago, probably 2-3 kilos, and though I can't remember the cost, I can tell you it's very reasonable, probably under 10 euros.

If you want to get more specific information, look here at the Correos' website.

I always use the 'Paquete Azul" option (because that's what the attendant suggests) and prices are actually listed here: http://www.correos.es/comun/tarifas/02P ... arifas.asp

I've never had a problem with things getting lost in the Spanish mail, but I always use the option of registering the package, so there's a receipt and a number for tracking if something happens.

Good luck with this, Laurie

Great, I won't worry about taking some extra weight, then. Thanks so much, Laurie!
