    All the solutions/ advices you need for anything Camino related. I used the luggage deposite too for more than one month. Cheap, easy, safe.

    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.

    The services Ivar provides to pilgrims are a true blessing! It's been 7 years since my Camino. I am able to stay in the energy of the Camino by regularly checking in to the Camino Forum. And, of course, I was so grateful to have Ivar's services to ship ahead items I discovered I didn't need while I was walking. It was so easy and a huge relief to know I could store things safely until my arrival in Santiago. My most recent experience with Casa Ivar was to *finally* purchase one of the beautiful bronze way markers. It currently sits on my desk as a constant reminder to live what I learned on the Camino. I'm looking forward to getting back to Santiago and seeing the new home of Casa Ivar!

    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.

    I shipped my bag from Porto to Santiago. I was given clear instructions, I was provided with a tracking number and the pick up was in a central location close to the cathedral. It was really handy having my bag picked up from my accomodation, and the holding time was really generous meaning I didn’t have to rush on the Camino. I’d really recommend this service!

    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.

    I used lots of information from your site. I would not have known about the Gronze app or known of the flooding in Santiponce in advance, plus so much mote. Thanks so much. Done 2 caminos and will resubscribe if I do a3rd

    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
