mailing duffle ahead

[Rosina Lila]

Hi Nora,
You'll need to put your bag in a box which you can purchase at any post
office in Spain. (There is one at the Barajas airport in Madrid).  The box comes
with its own tape, etc., and you can pack it right at the post office.
Address the box to:           (your name)
                                                 Lista de Correos
                                                 Santiago de Compostela
                                                          15780
                                                 Corunha, Espana
The Spain post offices now have a special (cute) label which marks the
package
"Peregrino"  (pilgrim) and which they put on the box if you tell them you are
a pilgrim.
Caveat:  the post office workers in Spain  do not speak English; if you do
not speak Spanish, a simple translator or dictionary will suffice for the
purpose.
Mailing packages in Spain is SURPRISINGLY inexpensive and safe, and the post
office in Santiago is right by the Pilgrims' office.
Buen Camino!
Rosina
