I will be staying in Paris prior to starting out, and I want to be able to mail my nice city clothes to Barcelona, either to the hotel or another location for pick up. Has anyone done this? Any ideas?

JudyRS,

For starters see these two useful Forum threads --

el-camino-frances/topic12880.html

and
