Austinpaterson · Mar 3, 2022

Hi
What would you think is the best way to send some ‘non-hiking’ clothes ahead from SJPP to Santiago?
Thanks
Austin

I've used Express Bouricott twice. It's the easiest way.
You just go to their office which is next to the Pilgrim's Office in SJPDP, pay their fee, and they will give you a tag for your luggage. In the morning leave it at your accommodation before you start walking and they will pick it up.
When you arrive in Santiago it will be waiting for you at Hostal Lasalle, which has 24/7 reception, so you can pick it up whenever you want. The Hostal will even give you a nice discount on a room.

I thought Hostal la Salle was closed? I tried booking some time ago and was informed it had closed. Quite sad as it one of my favourite places in Santiago. Any updates? thanks.

Here's their website

Or you could just buy some clothes when you reach Santiago and support the local economy.
There is some great shopping there if you get out of the tourist area.

Yes and it only costs 70€ and it is kept in storage at one of the alberques at no extra cost no matter how long it is kept for ..good if you don't want extra weight in your backpack as I am thinking of what I am wearing over to have it stored till I am ready to return to the UK

Check out casa ivar . He operates a luggage store in Santiago. Ivar recently posted a video re how this all works. Buen Camino

IMHO Express Bouricot is the way to go to send a bag or suitcase from SJPdP to Santiago, direct. The location and process is above. Albergue Hostal La Salle changed ownership. It is now named Loop Inn. this is also discussed above.

Once you are in Spain, or start from someplace in Spain, instead from France or Portugal. Just send the item to Ivar for storage until you arrive. Use the Correos. They even ship suitcases. I have done this. Their tracking service is good too.

Hope this helps.

Looking to book a train from Santiago to Madrid in late June and there are no trains on any day even today on the Renfe site? Queries to Renfe generate an error. Does anyone know what is happening?
