Hi Ivar, I am planning to ship my luggage to you from Pamplona before I start walking the Primitivo. Can you advise the best way of getting it to you, and is a suitcase OK, or should I rather invest in a tog type bag with wheels?.

I posted things to Ivar from Pamplona to Santiago back in April 2016. We ended up using a cardboard box from the post office (which is right in the center of town). I ended up using my duffle bag that holds my backpack for flying to put things in and then put it in a cardboard box to ship. The instructions are below. I hope that helps!

Suitcase is fine. If it is a small roller bag it might fit in the large box the post office sell, if not some sort of plastic wrapping would be a good idea. My address label under the plastic and then they (the post office) will add another label on top of the plastic. Kitchen wrap from the supermarket works great.

Hope this helps!
