Mailing a package to be held in Santiago?

Santiago to Finisterre to Muxia to Santiago, April 2014
I have been told that pilgrims can mail packages to Santiago, and the post office will hold those packages for up to two months... However, nobody seems to know the specifics of how to do it.

I am in Burgos now, and we will be leaving tomorrow morning. We have to wait until the post office opens at 8:30, but we don't want to be stuck here much longer than that. Can anyone offer specific information on how to do this?

Also, does anyone know the address of the post office that the packages get sent to?

I will check this in the morning to see if anyone has been able to offer specific information. Thanks a million!

PS- sorry if this is a repeated question, but I have limited wifi connectivity tonight.
