[Gocamino] mailing package to post office

[James Eyskens]

Make sure you address includes 'peregrino or peregrina' and the post
office will most likely hold it longer than a month.  The Santiago post
office has liteally hundreds of such packages from pilgrims and/or the
families back home.  The address in santiago is Listo de correros 15780
Santiago de Compostela, A Coruna.

I got this from Ivar at Santiago Today:

I have not tried this, but I assume that you could mail it "Poste
Restante" 
to any post office in Spain. It will then be held there, normally for
one 
month. The traveler needs to identify him/herself to collect the
mailing.

I did some Googling on this, see more here:

What is Poste restante?

Other pages in Spain with Poste Restante related information:

Quote:
Post
There are efficient internal and international postal services to all 
countries. Airmail within Europe usually takes around five days. Poste 
Restante facilities are available at main post offices.

Maybe someone that has tried this in Santiago, or during a pilgrimage
could 
add to this.

I hope this helps,
