A friend has just completed the camino frances and has told me that the post office in Santiago only holds pilgrim's posted excess gear for two weeks now. She had posted things to herself at the start of her walk only to find the post office had posted them onto Australia by the time she got there. She had put her expected arrival time on the parcel, arrived earlier than that date, but still they had posted it off. So please remember - they will only hold your parcel for 2 weeks. I had planned to post things ahead, now will have to rethink my options. Cheers, Jane
