Sending luggage by taxi on the Portugues

[lindissima]

Hi,

I have done several caminos, one in France and several in Spain, always carrying my backpack with me. On these trips, I met up with people who sent their baggage ahead by taxi. It seemed this was very easy to do in Spain, safe and reliable.

I will be doing the Camino Portugues, coastal route, and wonder if this option is available in Portugal. I have a knee that occasionally acts up, plus having advanced in years, and I would like the option of sending things by cab.

Has anyone had experience with this?

Thanks very much.

Hola - there are companies who provide this service. The best on the Camino Portugués imho is Tuitrans www.Tuitrans.com They charge 5Euros per bag per stage in Spain and 7 euros in Portugal. They are very reliable.

RE: sending your bag ahead on the Portugues--any service if we start in Porto? Can you use private cabs?

See the reply I gave earlier. Tuitrans operate in Portugal and will collect and deliver your luggage at every stage from Porto. Buen Camino

Olá lindissima, what a beautiful name! Well, as JohnnieWalker said, use TuiTrans. Working as hospitaleiro in Angeiras (not all the year round) we haven´t had any issues with this company for years. They are doing a very good job.

Bom caminho, Rainer
