Is it possible to ship such a bag to the Poste Restante (Lista de Correos) in Salamanca, even though it will take us more two weeks to go there? If not, is it possible to ship it to the albergue in Salamanca? to a hotel?

Thanks for your help.

Hi all!
I am not sure about the 30 days at all. It might have been 30 days last year being a holy year with many pilgrims in Spain but I think the correos could be back to normal 14 days now.

As far as I know, the post office will hold it for 14 days (it was 30 days in the Santiago post office last year, due to the Holy year... but this is now back to "normal"... 14 days).

Buen Camino!
Ivar

Thank you, Ivar I am also suggested to send the bag directly to the hotel (after having made sure the hotel will keep the bag for four-five weeks). Can you recommend a nice hotel for pilgrims in Salamanca?
Thank you in advance,

...that was most likely me (over on FB right?)

I don't know Salamanca that well... would have a look at sites like http://www.booking.com/ and read reviews..

Saludos,
Ivar

you can check hotels here: http://www.booking.com
Usually it does not cost anything to reserve a room. I use this site all the time when traveling and find them reliable.
