Hi, arrived in Porto today starting the coastal camino on Friday! I just found out the hostel I am staying at does not allow pack pick up. Im walking to vila cha 1st day and physically I cannot carry my pack. Suggestions? Who are the transfer companies in Portugal I think I used Jacotran last year in Spain. HELP!
Thanks
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

I am walking from Porto in May and using Caminofacil to transfer my bag. I am staying in an apartment in Porto so arranged with Caminofacil to meet the driver outside the apartment between 7:45-8:15am the day I leave Porto to give them my bag.

We used Camino Facil, https://caminofacil.net/en/, in both Portugal and Spain. They were great. Go to their webpage to select your next day's destination and they have a dropdown box for almost all lodging along the Camino. We placed our backpacks in the lodging common area by 9 AM each morning and when we arrived at the night's lodging they were usually there before we arrived or shortly thereafter.

Thanks but where I am staying they do not have a lobby I need to arrange a different pick up point.
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.

We are using Pilbeo. It is 7 euros a day and their communication is excellent. There are 7 of us, with 3 dropping out along the way. Pilbeo is very organized. They pickup by 8 am. Good luck!
