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.

I used Casa Ivar to transport a bag from Oviedo to Santiago de Compastella. There was a glitch with DHL for my shipping. The employees at CI were on top of it and made sure my bag made it to Santiago. I’m very much appreciative for what they did. I would highly recommend them.

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!

So helpful and knowledgeable
