How to send the backpack to Santiago de Compostela is a common request from pilgrims at Ideas Peregrinas, so here we leave you all the necessary information.
The easiest thing is to deal with backpack transport companies because they process the pick-up at the albergue and also deposit it in Santiago in their own lockers until you go to pick up your suitcase.
In this post about transporting suitcases to Santiago you can consult the companies that offer the transport of backpacks on the Portuguese Camino. In the winter season you may find yourself with high prices or even inactivity of companies, some close during the winter months so check their schedules beforehand.
Another option is to go to the Post Office “Correos”. We have an office in Tui, from where you can send your belongings to the Main Post Office in Santiago and the prices we provide you already include 15 days of storage.
Warning! This office has morning hours only from Monday to Saturday, and in the summer it may only be from Monday to Saturday.

- Sending between 0kg and 15kg the price is 20.95 euros. The office provides a box.

- If you prefer to send the suitcase (maximum 25kg) as is, the price is 22.30 euros, if you need to send two suitcases together the price is 44.60kg. In this case it isn´t necessary to pack.
