Did someone recently post a list of the Lista de Correos / Poste Restantes in main towns and cities on the VdlP as I can't find it by searching. Perhaps it was on another forum?
I'd like to leave the addresses with my wife in case I need something sent out.
2002 CF: 2004 from Paris: 2006 VF: 2007 CF: 2009 Aragones, Ingles, Finisterre: 2011 X 2 on CF: 2013 'Caracoles': 2014 CF and Ingles 'Caracoles":2015 Logrono-Burgos (Hospitalero San Anton): 2016 La Douay to Aosta/San Gimignano to Rome:
Andrew - I haven't ever seen a list for the VdlP but, if you go onto the Correos website - http://www.correos.es/ - and lok up the towns you might want to send post to, you'll find the postal codes.
Same instructions applies to sending your parcel as elswhere - write your name as it appears in your passport as you might be asked to produce it to collect the post.
If you find the addresses, perhaps you can share them with us.

No information whatsoever on http://www.correos.es about lista de correos... What address do you use exactly? For example, the adress of the post office in Mérida is:
PL. CONSTITUCION, 2
06800 MERIDA (BADAJOZ)
Then you write:
DOE, Jane
Lista de Correos
06800 MERIDA (BADAJOZ)
Is the above correct in this case?
Does anyone know if they keep your parcel longer along the Via de la Plata as well as along the Francés when you write the world 'peregrino' on it? Or should I expect only 15 days?
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
I'm having some things sent to me in Salamanca. Obviously being a decent size city there are numerous post offices, I'm assuming the main post office is:
Lista de Correos
Gran Via 25-29
37001 Salamanca (SALAMANCA)
I have been reading 2 different reports (on FB and instagram) about (an) agressive dog(s) just after Oseira. I'll post them here:
In the group of @geraldkelly on FB (4 days ago):
Hello lovely Via...
Hi all!
Once again I am heading back to Spain; this time to walk much of the Sanabres with my son; starting in Rionegro del Puente after a few sightseeing days first in Salamanca and Zamora...
I’m at Almadén de la Plata at the moment, and my options for tomorrow are to go as far as El Real de la Jara (approx 14km) or continue on to Monesterio (approx 34km). 34 km is a bit far for day 4...
For anyone around Sevilla, next Saturday marks the end of the annual week long fiesta. I have just had a conversation, as I do weekly (to help her with English), with a friend who is from there...
