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
 
Down bag (90/10 duvet) of 700 fills with 180 g (6.34 ounces) of filling. Mummy-shaped structure, ideal when you are looking for lightness with great heating performance.

€149,-
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.
 
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
Finishing off in a few days and I use Caminofacil, they have been excellent....my bag is always there when I arrive.

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.

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!
