I am starting the Camino in St. Jean Pied de Port. I've been told that Pilgrims can ship a box to Santiago to hold for arrival. Does anyone have experience with this (specifically shipping from St. Jean)? Would like to know where to send in Santiago and how long they will hold the package? Thanks for any input you may have.

@ivar will hold your box until arrive, see http://www.casaivar.com but shipping internationally can get expensive. Buen Camino, SY

We started our Camino from St. Jean mid June this year. Along the way, I realized how much I overpacked, so when we reached Pamplona, we shipped two packages to be held in Santiago by Ivar. The first package we picked up upon reaching Santiago in July, and the second we picked up after coming back from Muxia. Both pickups went without incident. I found Ivar to be quite personable and a joy to talk to!! (Both times

Highly recommended!!
Buen Camino.

I can't find his address....I should have written it down. Do you still happen to have it?
