    Sent a bag containing post Camino (May 2023) travel attire to Casa Ivar from Madrid prior to walking and swapped it over in Santiago for my pack while I visited Portugal, on return Ivar delivered the pack to my hotel so that I did not missed my early morning bus connection, such a great service and super cost effective. Highly recommended, thanks Ivar

    My husband and I walked the Camino del Norte in June and July 2023. On our second day of walking we realized that we were carrying too much stuff and we shipped a box ahead to Ivar. Excellent communication with him and easy pick up once we arrived in Santiago. Also ordered guide books from him prior to our Camino. Excellent service all around. And the forum he runs for pilgrims is fantastic. Highly 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.

    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.

    Ivar is "The Man". This is THE PLACE to deal with all things shipping, as well as things you might want/need (daypacks, Camino guidebooks, etc)

    I ordered one of the guidebooks and it arrived in a water damaged state. I emailed Ivar to advise him of the situation. He quickly responded, apologized, and offered to send a replacement. I didn’t see his reply until about 3-4 months later. I had returned to the USA, so I responded that if the offer still stood, I would be happy to have another guide shipped to my daughters address in Madrid, and he did so right away. I am highly impressed with Ivar’s commitment to customer service, and will not hesitate to order from him again in the future.

    Excellent store with all guidebooks you may need for a camino, have ordered several books to Sweden and no problems with postal delivery. The forum is the absolute best place to get up-to-date and qualified help with your questions when preparing for a camino, I follow it every week. And I just love the video updates from Ivar, bringing back so many memories and at the same time, helping me to prepare for my next camino.
