hi everyone. I will have a carry-on suitcase with 'after' clothes in it. Is there a service like the one on the Frances that will take it to Santiago and store it for me? I am planning to go to France afterwards.

or you can use Correos to ship your pack to Casa Ivar www.caminodesantiago.me/community/pages/services-by-ivar/ where he will store it 'till your arrival.

Hi, maggiec,

If you want daily transport, try Correos as Tinca suggests. But if you just want to get the bag up to Santiago, I think the best place to start is to look at the services offered by Ivar (owner of this forum). You can ship the suitcase to Santiago and Ivar will store it for you. Lots of information on this link. http://www.casaivar.com/luggage-storage-in-santiago-de-compostela/index.html

Yes, there is a main PO in the centre of Seville near the Cathedral and smaller branches in Alameda and Triana. They sell boxes in various sizes. I like to take a roll of clear wide packing tape to the PO with me (any cheapo shop will have) in case PO are busy. You can then secureley package your box if it’s a bit heavy.

According to the correos site - daily transport is available on the C. Sanabres, (from A Gudina) not the VDLP.

Hi Richo, I just was looking at this service for a friend and found that in fact Correos does offer daily transport on the VDLP.

Here's the complete list. http://www.elcaminoconcorreos.com/es/los-caminos-de-santiago.php

It's even available on the Invierno!!

Hi Peregrina2000 I really wish you were right, but if you follow the link you provided I think you'll find a description of the stages of the VDLP but further links get you to information that states the service is only available from A Guidina. I emailed Correos and got this reply.

Wow thank you SO much for that. I didn't go further than the web page, just told my friend the service was available. I will have to write to see what they say about the Invierno. My friend would not have been pleased to learn this was just the Correos' description of the routes rather than a statement about service. An important heads up. Thank you many times over. Buen camino, Laurie.

It's a bit confusing, even misleading, Laurie, that's why I emailed them. It would be great if there were some system in place for transport of backpacks on the VDLP.
