Is there a DHL or UPS office/store in SJPP? (Before crossing the Pyrenees) We would like to forward a suitcase to Casa Ivar from SJPP? Thank you for your response.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.

From SJPdP it's actually best to use Express Bourricot to send luggage to Santiago, where it's held for you in a secure storage room at the Loop Inn.

I have used this service 3 times, and it's so much easier than lugging your suitcase to the post office, preparing it to be mailed, etc. (and it's @ivar approved for sending from SJPdP to Santiago 😊) All you have to do is go to the Express Bourricot office near the Pilgrim Office, give them your information and pay their fee. They will give you a tag for your luggage, and then you just leave it at your accommodation in the morning when you start out on the Camino.

 
Hola I used Express Bourricot in 2017 and then received a E5 or E10 discount of the accommodation venue that stored my bag. The alternative is transport to Pamplona and then post office to Ivar. Cheers
 
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.

Agree- super easy! The EB office was also open in the evening - if want to drop off the night before. I must admit it felt very freeing to get rid of it & be ready to set off!
 
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.
I used Express Burricot on 2016. The location in Saint Jean was easy to find and so was the location in Santiago. I would absolutely use it again. I think I also used them for transport from Biarritz airport to Saint Jean…
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
