<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I suggest a FAQ for these general type of
questions. The answers provided are valuable and should be recorded as part of
our collective memory of the Camino. As of now, the mailbox question and similar
repetitives will in the end wear out Rosina and others who generously
give from their experiences. </FONT></DIV>

Nora,<BR>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. <BR>Address the box
to: (your
name)<BR>
Lista de
Correos<BR>
Santiago de
Compostela<BR>

Corunha, Espana<BR>The Spain post offices now have a special (cute) label
which marks the package<BR>"Peregrino" (pilgrim) and which they put on
the box if you tell them you are a pilgrim.<BR>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.<BR>Mailing
packages in Spain is SURPRISINGLY inexpensive and safe, and the post office in
Santiago is right by the Pilgrims' office.<BR>Buen
Camino!<BR>Rosina
