Luggage advice needed 2022

Time of past OR future Camino
Camino Frances
I am in Madrid and leave for SJPP Sept 1 and start walking on Sept 2. I was thinking it would be easy to find storage for my suitcase here. I plan to stay another month in Portugal after the Camino. I found a place but only allows 15 days. How feasible is it to show up in SJPP with a large suitcase and find a way to get it to Compestella? Or advice for Madrid. I’m thinking that it will take me 40 or so days to finish. Any advice much appreciated.

It's very easy with Express Bourricot. You don't even have to lug it down to the post office. They will pick it up at your accommodation in the morning.

And you don't have the worries about mailing from another country.

I would like to send to you, Ivar. I listened to your video, which was VERY helpful. I’ll go to store and get cling wrap and send from Correros and will not use pilgrim rate. Or if I can find a DHL. It’s a rather large suitcase so I hope that is O.K. This will give me the peace of mind to walk the Camino at my pace.
 
You'll have to mail it while you are in Madrid.
 
It is better to contact Ivar directly at the email given on the Casa Ivar webpage. He doesn't necessarily see every post here on the forum.

I used "stow your bag" service in Madrid. It is by the Atocha Train Station close to the Prado museum and park.

Sounds good. These other services are also good. Whatever you do you will be fine. Buen camino!
 
Thanks everyone. Bag on the way to Ivar. I’m thankful for his service and the support on this forum. Incredible community. Gracias!

I used Ivar’s service, and it was super. His warehouse is close to the cathedral. I will definitely do it, again! I would also suggest shipping from Spain. I used French postal service, and it was very expensive.

I used DHL and it was only 37 Euros from Madrid. I thought that wS a great price.

The often recommended Express Bourricot from SJPDP to Santiago is €70; so that wasn’t excessive for that route.

But Express Bouricot's price also includes storage for an unlimited time, so it comes out cheaper. Plus their service is so easy to use. Just go to their office, fill out a form and pay, get a tag to put on your suitcase then leave it at your accommodation in the morning.
