<DIV></DIV>>Hello again,
<DIV></DIV>>Perhaps you'd like to know that the price of the boxes, envelopes, etc., at
<DIV></DIV>>the Spain post offices ranges from 35 Euro-cents to 1.82 Euros which is the
<DIV></DIV>>price of the largest one (about the size of a suitcase). They also have elongated
<DIV></DIV>>boxes, rolls, and so on, but these are not usually on display; you'll need
<DIV></DIV>>to ask for them.
<DIV></DIV>>I helped some German pilgrims, who didn't speak Spanish, at the post office
<DIV></DIV>>(they spoke to me in English and I translated.... post office personnel do not
<DIV></DIV>>speak English, they migh understand French, certainly Portuguese and
<DIV></DIV>>Galician and perhaps Italian, but not English). At any rate, these pilgrims intended
<DIV></DIV>>to walk beyond Santiago and they were sending packages to themselves to be
<DIV></DIV>>picked up at the airport in Madrid. The post office people informed that they
<DIV></DIV>>should send the packages addressed in their name to CONSIGNA, Aeropuerto
<DIV></DIV>>Barajas, Madrid. (Consigna is where you check suitcases, etc., in at airports and
<DIV></DIV>>so on). I got the impression that this is commonly done by European
<DIV></DIV>>travelers.
<DIV></DIV>>Regards again.
<DIV></DIV>>Rosina
