Sending Additional Luggage on in Winter

I'm doing to Camino in January/February and was hoping to send additional luggage on to Santiago, so that I might have some nice clothes for the end of my walk and onward travels through Europe.

I understand that the Pilgrim Helper Luggage Service is closed then, and the post office will only store luggage for 15 calender days. So was wondering if anyone knew of a service that stores luggage for longer at that time of year?

Any help is much appreciated!

Hi Ruth,

I will be taking over the luggage storage service from Manuel (Pilgrim Helper Storage). I am in the process of setting this up now, and hope to have some news at the beginning of the year (address and prices and things like that). I am thinking of opening up "officially" at easter, but e-mail me if you are interested in storing luggage in Santiago before that. ivar.rekve at gmail.com

Saludos,
Ivar
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

Hello Ivar.
That are bad news. I run the homepage Jakobusfreunde Paderborn. I will inform the German pilgrims about these bad news.

Just to clarify... the luggage storage service will continue, Manuel will not be running it, but I will. There will be a new address (in Santiago close to the market), but I don't want to publish it yet until I have everything set up.

If you are walking soon, and need to send me something, e-mail me ivar.rekve at gmail.com

Saludos,
Ivar
 
Thank you so much Ivar! I will email you now.
