Casa Ivar

I used lots of information from your site. I would not have known about the Gronze app or known of the flooding in Santiponce in advance, plus so much mote. Thanks so much. Done 2 caminos and will resubscribe if I do a3rd

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.

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.

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

The services Ivar provides to pilgrims are a true blessing! It's been 7 years since my Camino. I am able to stay in the energy of the Camino by regularly checking in to the Camino Forum. And, of course, I was so grateful to have Ivar's services to ship ahead items I discovered I didn't need while I was walking. It was so easy and a huge relief to know I could store things safely until my arrival in Santiago. My most recent experience with Casa Ivar was to *finally* purchase one of the beautiful bronze way markers. It currently sits on my desk as a constant reminder to live what I learned on the Camino. I'm looking forward to getting back to Santiago and seeing the new home of Casa Ivar!

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!

Ivar and staff have been extremely welcoming and helpful to us as pilgrims finishing our Camino. We began using the luggage storage service in 2015 and would highly recommend Casa Ivar.

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

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.

Great place to store your extra luggage while travelling around.

I came across Ivar when I was looking for a guide to Portuguse route in 2021, there are answers to every question imagined on web site, brilliant & informative

Very usefull site to find out all the ways to go on the caminos and enjoy the experience. Great advice from pilgrims who have walked the different caminos. Very useful questions from past, present and future pilgrims. Great work from Ivar who set up the site!

Super easy to ship your stuff home or to store while on the Camino!

Ivar is the Camino ambassador! We’d be lost without him. Casa Ivar offers many services for camino pilgrims that makes everything much more pleasant and accommodating. 💜

Most helpful. Sign up for his newsletter. Very calm and soothing. Always glad to get his updates as I walk Via de la Plata right now. Can't wait to see his storefront location

I used the luggage service in 2022. It's very good. I have purchased items from the store but only on sale. Shipment to USA is expensive. Great work and love your videos.

great service, nice people. I really appreciate the option to send my bag ahead from the start of my Camino. thank you!

Ivar is the heart and soul of all things "Camino" in Santiago - Thanks for all your brilliant work Ivar.

The luggage pickup was easy and the team was very helpful. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to ship and store their access luggage
