I walked the Camino with Ivar this year. It was a very friendly, well organised and reassuring way to walk this route. We all went at our own pace and met for dinner every evening which was a lovely end to each day.
If anyone has concerns about walking the Camino for health, safety or organisational reasons, this is a great way to have a wonderful experience. Thoroughly recommended.

    I used the luggage service in 2022. It's very good. I have purchased items from the store but only on sale. Shipment to USA is expensive. Great work and love your videos.

    Ivar was so helpful to me before, during and after my pilgrimage on the Camino Frances last year. Before my journey his web forum and videos helped me plan and calmed my nerves. During my camino, I would check the forum for updates and even used it to recover my dropped money belt. (Pilgrims are the BEST) I also had need to ship an item ahead to Casa Ivar mid-journey for safe keeping. And at the end of my journey, when I picked up my box, Ivar offered great advice on how to spend my time in his beutiful city. I'm so grateful for him- his services and calm demeanor helped me achieve a long-time dream.

    We sent a box from St Jean Pied de Port and it was collected easily and safely. The directions to the collection point were precise and our meeting very friendly. An improvement could be a pro-active e-mail confirming receipt and instructions/link about collection as we were unsure how and when to collect.

    I used Casa Ivar to transport a bag from Oviedo to Santiago de Compastella. There was a glitch with DHL for my shipping. The employees at CI were on top of it and made sure my bag made it to Santiago. I’m very much appreciative for what they did. I would highly recommend them.

    Ivar and staff have been extremely welcoming and helpful to us as pilgrims finishing our Camino. We began using the luggage storage service in 2015 and would highly recommend Casa Ivar.

    Fantastic pilgrim related resource for the whole of the city of Santiago. Ivar decided to relocate his pilgrim friendly business here. He runs it as a shop/office/work studio/delivery point and luggage storage point. You can even take a walking pole (and sometimes other pilgrims items) from him without charge! I am impressed with what is stocked and what you can buy. This includes the Credential, pilgrim guidebooks and gear like Altus backpacks,Altus ponchos, buffs etc. In addition, a wide range of souvenirs and gifts from jewellery to maps of the Caminos de Santiago to the actual bronze scallop shells that adorn pilgrim streets and point the way. All of the stuff he stocks is available on his Pilgrim Forum Digital Shop and can be posted securely anywhere in the world. But the best is Ivar himself who is willing to give up some of his hectic schedule to talk to me and conversations with him are always uplifting. By the footfall he appears to be really popular which is not surprising to me given the longstanding success of his English speaking International Forum.
