LIVE from the Camino Sending shoes to Leon for collection

smj6

Siempre hay que ver el positivo
Time of past OR future Camino
Oct/Nov 2016 (Via Podensis/ Frances)
Oct 2018 (Via Francigena stage)
Unfortunately my brand new trail shoes are showing signs of tear in the fabric (after only 400kms). The manufacturers are ready to send a replacement pair out to Spain. I was thinking that Leon would work (I'll be there in about a week/10 days).
Where could I have the shoes sent pending my arrival? Any suggestions much appreciated.
Suzanne :)
 
The 9th edition the Lightfoot Guide will let you complete the journey your way.
Lista de Correos (Poste Restante) is your friend here ;-) Let them address the parcel like this:

your first name YOUR FAMILY NAME

LISTA DE COREOS

JARDIN DE SAN FRANCISCO 2
24004 LEÓN

Spain/España

That is the main post office in Leon and quite central ;-)

Buen Camino, SY

3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
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.
