Luggage help!

[Karlit0]

Excited to start my Camino journey in Nov 2023, but I need some help!

I will arrive in Madrid with two luggages — a backpack just for the Camino and a carry-on luggage for the rest of my travels in Barcelona after completing the Camino. As I will not need my carry-on luggage during the Camino, is it possible to send it from a Madrid Correos branch to a Barcelona Correos branch, store it there for 12 days, before I collect it? Do all Correos branches do storage?

Are there any other alternatives?

Thank you!

It might be possible, you would have to ask at the branch. An alternative would be to send your luggage to Casa Ivar in Santiago and pick it up at the end of your Camino.

Buen Camino!

Will you be finishing in Santiago? If so, send the extra luggage there. Either to the post office or to Casa Ivar.

I will be ending at Muxia on Friday. Will be making my way to SDC on Sunday to take a flight to Barcelona! I understand Casa Ivar is closed on Sunday so thats a problem!

Do you have a hotel reservation in Barcelona? You could contact the hotel to see what they would charge you to hold luggage if ship your luggage to them. Probably could use Correos or maybe DHL or another service. If you send with Correos, make sure you send it with the postage that includes a tracking number. I sent a package from the Camino to my Madrid hotel and it did not arrive and I had no tracking number. Somewhere in Spain are two nice rain ponchos and two nice silk liner bags...

I think I would be asking the hotel you plan to stay in Barcelona.

Sometimes its worth asking the horse instead of the bookie: https://www.correos.es/es/es/particulares/enviar/envios-nacionales/paq-maleta

Correos' paq-maleta service would appear to meet your needs but you need to ask them. There is an equivalent to the "post-restante" service of the International Postage Union but you'll need to establish Correos' approach and the only organization that can answer that question is Correos.

What day will you be in Santiago? You could pick it up from Ivar and take it to another luggage storage location that's open 7 days a week while you are on your way to Muxía.
