Correos keeps your suitcase in Santiago for up to 45 days, from €20.95
Checked online 9 November 2026If you start the Camino with a suitcase you don’t want to carry, Correos (Spanish Post) will take it to Santiago and keep it at their office for up to 45 days. Up to 15 kg: €20.95 for 15 days, €28.95 for 30 days, €35.95 for 45 days. VAT included.
If you didn’t know it existed, it’s not your fault: it’s a lack of good information. Correos explains it on its Camino website, elcaminoconcorreos.com.
- Paq Peregrino · up to 15 kg · collection at the Santiago office

- Paq Peregrino · up to 25 kg

Shipping to your home at the end: Correos says this is also possible, but publishes neither the price nor the delivery time. Ask at the office at Rúa do Franco, 4.
Paq Mochila (backpack transfer stage by stage): up to 15 kg and 60 km a day, no home delivery, and the price only appears in its calculator for your route. Book before 20:00 the day before, leave the backpack at the reception of your accommodation before 8:00 and it is delivered to the next one before 14:30. The accommodation must have a reception open from 8:00 to 15:00 or an access code outside.
Paq Mochila in winter: Correos says that from Easter to 31 October it runs every day, public holidays included, and that from 1 November it is limited to the Camino Francés from Sarria to Santiago and the Camino Portugués from Tui to Santiago, with no service on 24, 25 and 31 December or on 1 January. Its website mentions extending it to more routes from March 2027. Confirm when you book ([email protected]).
Other companies that carry your backpack stage by stage (prices they publish, read on 9 November 2026; confirm them when you book). Pilbeo, per backpack: Sarria–Santiago €30, Tui–Santiago €42, Ferrol–Santiago €35, Santiago–Finisterre and Muxía €30. Caminofácil, per backpack and stage, from €6 on the Camino Francés and from €7 on the Camino Portugués. Today neither of them pays me anything.
When you don’t need this: If you’re only travelling with your Camino backpack and flying home with it, you don’t need any of this.
Pending: Price and delivery time for home shipping: I’ll ask at the office and put it here, with the date.
