    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.

    We shipped our items to Ivar and he picked them up and held them until we got there. A simple but amazing service! Thank you, Ivar!

    I ordered one of the guidebooks and it arrived in a water damaged state. I emailed Ivar to advise him of the situation. He quickly responded, apologized, and offered to send a replacement. I didn’t see his reply until about 3-4 months later. I had returned to the USA, so I responded that if the offer still stood, I would be happy to have another guide shipped to my daughters address in Madrid, and he did so right away. I am highly impressed with Ivar’s commitment to customer service, and will not hesitate to order from him again in the future.

    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.

    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.
