    My husband and I walked the Camino del Norte in June and July 2023. On our second day of walking we realized that we were carrying too much stuff and we shipped a box ahead to Ivar. Excellent communication with him and easy pick up once we arrived in Santiago. Also ordered guide books from him prior to our Camino. Excellent service all around. And the forum he runs for pilgrims is fantastic. Highly recommended!

    The Casa Ivar Forum and Ivar’s video updates were very valuable to my planning process. I had to postpone our Camino from 2020 to 2022 and the frequent video updates were a source of hope. I am happy to have completed the Camino Frances in June of 2022. I frequently review the forum to maintain my connection to the Camino and as I Plan for the Camino Portuguese.

    I live in Ohio, USA and I ordered the credentials I want to carry on my pilgrimage from Fatima to Santiago de Compostela along with a plastic cover to protect them along the way. These just arrived today and I am so pleased with the prompt service. Thank you so much.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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

    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.
