Camino Frances (SJPP to Fisterra) (June/July 2015)
Hello, all!

Just finishing up our Camino (SJPP to Fisterra) and wondering which Correos office receives shipments sent ahead by pilgrims?

Also, I heard the Correos employee tell me that they charged 1 Euro a day after 2 weeks, but my wife thinks he said 5 per day. 5 seems too steep, so I hope I'm right.

Many thanks in advance!
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
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.
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
The Post Office where you collect items sent ahead is in the Rua Franco just round the corner from the Pilgrims Office. There is a Post Office desk in the Pilgrims Office just ask them for directions - it is 2 minutes away. However they usually only keep items for up to 15 days. Good luck.
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
Speaking of shipments; Ivar a huge thanks for the very speedy delivery of the items I ordered. I was amazed as how quickly they arrived here in Victoria, BC, Canada. The note book awaits some Haiku, the shell is already on my bag, as is the forum badge (along with my original Canadian Company of Pilgrims' badge. And a very tiny Canadian flag pin. 56 days to go.
