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.
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.
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?

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

One reason for me choosing the VDLP is to avoid the constant stress of the bed race on the busier routes. Alas I haven’t escaped it. Literally every bed (that I’m able to contact) is full from...
I think I’m on day 12, so not quite two weeks in. Thus far the VDLP is definitely a different animal than the CF. And I have to say, I’m struggling to enjoy it as much as the CF last year. I...
Be careful when you organise a transfer from the Arca de Caparra (Via’s emblem) to one of the three hotels in Jarilla. The guide books we are using state that you will be picked up at ARCA DE...
