If you will be sending your things from Spain, this is a good option.The pilgrim office does not do this, but the Spanish postal service does.
Free storage for the first 15 days, then 1 € a day. It's their Pac Peregrino package.

If you will be sending your things from Spain, this is a good option.
If you send it from outside of Spain (France or Portugal), the Spanish post office will most likely refuse the parcel in Santiago since it comes to them with SEUR (from France) and another private shipping company (don't remember the name now) if it comes from Portugal. The reason is that the Spanish post office charges other companies a storage fee, if they are to store the parcel with them... and the private shipping (e.g. SEURE,..) companies will not pay.. so it gets returned. I have been helping an Asian pilgrim with this problem las week. She sent a suitcase from SJPP with the French post office to the post office in Santiago... and it got returned to France.
So if you are sending it from outside of Spain, you can make a reservation at a hotel in Santiago.. and send it there. that would be the most economical option, since they most likely do not charge for the service. (You should get in touch with them first).
I do offer this service here as another alternative:

Yes Ivar, from inside Spain, which I sort of assumed as this is a Correos service. But, what about the Lista de Correos, for those who will catch up with their gear within two weeks? Is that no longer available in Santiago? Will they send the parcel back?If you will be sending your things from Spain, this is a good option.

Ivar - you have answered my Question that I have just posted elsewhere on this forum. Perhaps you could suggest the best way to pack some gear that I want to have available post Camino. I am intending to post from SJPDP to your luggage storage facility late Sept with pick up mid Nov. I had intended a day pack or similar. Using the french postal system - is this a problem?If you will be sending your things from Spain, this is a good option.

Hi freetobe, the post office in SJPDP has sells boxes that you can use. I did this last year and picked it up from Ivar 6 weeks later.

The french postal system works fine.. but the boxes they sell are not very large, so you might want to find your own box (in SJPP there are supermarkets that I know pilgrim get boxes from) or just plastic wrap it (kitchen wrap from the supermarket works).Ivar - you have answered my Question that I have just posted elsewhere on this forum.

If you mail things from within Spain to Lista de Correos... they hold it 15 days (or 14, don't remember) for free, then €1,-/day after that.Yes Ivar, from inside Spain, which I sort of assumed as this is a Correos service.

. If you are walking the Camino Frances from St. Jean Pied de Port, seriously consider using Express Bourricot ( http://www.expressbourricot.com/ )
Yes, it's right on their website:I did not know that Express Bourricot now has an office in St. Jean Pied de Port. Do you have the location, and perhaps hours?
