I looked at the prices from the post office site and they seem very expensive. Would it be cheaper to use a courier service (one of those 'transport your pack ahead ' services ) which I would never ordinarily use? Would they take a bag all the way from Lisbon to Santiago? My box won't be particularly huge.
When my husband and I did the Camino from Porto in Sept 2005, we just brought our unneeded items to the post office and mailed them to Ivar in SdC. They arrived there the next with no problem.I am walking from Lisbon (actually Fatima) to Santiago in mid April.
I would like to forward a small bag of clothes to Santiago for some post-camino R and R.
I have used the Correos and Express Bourricot on the Camino Frances but can't seem to find any way to send excess luggage in Portugal, other than using CTT (Post). Their website is not easy to navigate. Does anyone have experience with this service and can they offer some advice? Thanks.

The C&A in Vigo has quite inexpensive, reasonable-quality clothes for men and women, in plenty of sizes. Big German chain. Almost at Santiago. (Also in Santiago. https://www.tiendeo.com/Tiendas/santiago-de-compostela/c-and-a-avda-camino-frances/193536 )I'm flying in and out of Lisbon so my plan is still to do luggage storage there. Not sure if this is your speed, Tazz, but I had a camino friend last year pick up a few things to wear at Zara in Santiago. It looks like they'd do a pair of jeans for 35 euros.
