    Lightbulb Place to pick up mail?

    A loved one just left for the camino frances. Can anyone think of a place that might be good to mail a small care package for his pick-up along the way? We were thinking one of the more modern albergues might work. Just a thought from us folks back home in the U.S.

    It would probably be better to deliver to a post office. If you post a parcel to an albergue, thet volunteers or owners will have to be there to go and collect the parcel.
    Here are postal addresses forsome of the towns about 2 or 3 days apart on the Camino Frances.
    Write his name as it appears in his passport as he will have to produce it to collect the parcel. Post office times vary but generally they are open 8h30 - 20h30 working days and 9h30 to 14h00 on Saturdays so he will have to be in that town during the week, not on a Sunday.

    26080 Logroño (Navarra)
    09080 Burgos
    24080 León
    24700 Astorga (León)
    24400 Ponferrada (León)
    27600 Sarria (Lugo)

    Dear AMR

    I shipped forward some of my extra stuff so I didn't have to carry it. Any post office will help your trekker. Leon is a great midway, it is used a lot and is very secure.

    Yours in Christ
