    Ivar is the best. Accidentally left my Compostela at the storage 2 years ago and he went through the trouble to find my contact details and ship me my documents. Gem of a human being. Very kind and clean storage.

    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!

    Casa Ivar is the essential Camino planning site. Casa Ivar is my central hub for vital and totally encompassing Camino information. The forum is absolutely the best site for relevant, accurate, and succinct member driven advice. My purchases at the Forum store arrive promptly and accurate. Ivar's videos and commentary give the pilgrim an accurate and timely view of Santiago and various Caminos. Information on other sources can be found at Casa Ivar. I plan and relive my future and past Caminos frequently. It's a virtual home for pilgrims.

    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

    I’ve made 3 or 4 orders over the past 10 years, and all arrived very timely in Sydney, perfectly packed and no mistakes. Valuable and Amicable forum also

    Really easy to use service, Ivar is responsive to questions. Sending my resupply box forward made my camino more enjoyable. I highly recommend this service

    Very appreciative for their help when I could not get in touch with the Correos directly about my luggage. Great option if you don’t have a European line as they use WhatsApp for communication
