    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.

    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

    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.

    I shipped my bag from Porto to Santiago. I was given clear instructions, I was provided with a tracking number and the pick up was in a central location close to the cathedral. It was really handy having my bag picked up from my accomodation, and the holding time was really generous meaning I didn’t have to rush on the Camino. I’d really recommend this service!

    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

    Casa Ivar provides great services, and guidance on how to proceed in your service needs. We sent a luggage from Porto to Santiago de Compostela, and they made the entire process very easy! They helped with the shipping and storage of the luggage. They are located near the cathedral, and the pick up could not been any easier!

    Ivar is "The Man". This is THE PLACE to deal with all things shipping, as well as things you might want/need (daypacks, Camino guidebooks, etc)

    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.
