Hello everyone

Has anyone had additional luggage which you are not using on the Camino transported from SJPD to Santiago.
Who would you recommend and how much would it cost approximately.

Cheers

...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
From France your best bet is Express Bourricot. They have their own office in SJPP, near the Pilgrim Office where people then go collect their stuff. Not inexpensive though. (Postal services somehow still have borders between EU countries, with duties, etc.).

You could also have them transport your stuff to Roncesvalles and mail it from there with Correos.

Ideal pocket guides for during & after your Camino. Each weighs only 1.4 oz (40g)!
I can only say from Burgos. We sent just under 7 kg to Santiago at a cost of €26. The first 15 days storage is free and 1€ per day thereafter. We paid for 5 days as the office is closed over the weekend

I used Express Bourricot, and it couldn't have been easier. A little spendy at 70 euros, but that includes storage at Hostal LaSalle for as long as it takes you to get to Santiago, plus a discount on a room there.

If you use them, all that you need to do is go to their office in SJPDP, pay them, get a tag for your suitcase, then leave your suitcase with the tag in the morning. They pick up from many gites/hotels, so I just had to leave my suitcase downstairs at Beilari where I stayed.

It was so nice to have a change of clothes after in Santiago after 5 weeks of wearing the same two outifts!

Hi Trecile. Thanks for your help, the price hasn’t changed it’s still 70 euros seems like an easy option. Cheers Tony

Hello! I’ve been browsing the forum and there’s plenty of info for baggage transfers from stage to stage, where you pick it up daily, give it back and move on, however what I’m after is a service...
