Closing Time of Office

[NShiker]

Hello,

What time does the office close in Santiago today? The website lists different times in different places.

I assume you mean the pilgrim office. At the moment it is open from 9am to 7pm.

@Bradypus do you know the regular opening times in September? (Not sure if arriving around 1600 the day before setting off is a bit tight in case of delays if the pilgrim office closes earlier?)
I want to organise a bag sent to santiago for collection, so leaning towards arriving a day earlier to enjoy a full day in SPJDP before hand.

September is still a very busy time and the office is unlikely to close much earlier than 7pm then. Even in winter they are usually open until 6pm. All the reports I have read recently say that the new computerised system for registering and issuing Compostelas makes the process very fast - waiting times measured in minutes rather than hours. I would be very surprised to learn that you would have any problems if you arrive by 4pm. Especially if you have already registered on the pilgrim office website.

When I worked at the Pilgrims Office in Santiago de Compostela June 2023, the office opens for service at 0900 (9AM) and closes at 1900 (7PM). I believe that is the usual schedule year round except for designated religious holidays like Christmas, Easter, etc.
