Bag Transfer on Invierno Route

[KeyserSoza]

Planning to do the full CF next April May. Did it last year following the standard route. This time we are considering doing the last section from Ponferrado on the Invierno route. Is anyone aware of companies that do bag transfers on this route. I’ve checked and NCS don’t.

According to Correos website, they will be available "on request" on the Invierno starting Easter, 2024. https://www.elcaminoconcorreos.com/en/rucksack-transfer.

If you email them and find out what that means, please post their response here. I'm sure other people would be curious.

Manuel of Bar Mar in Sobradelo runs a private bag transfer service and is highly recommended by @El Cascayal and other forum members.

See the info on this thread.

WhatsApp Senor Mar (+34 639 24 19 39) from your accommodation in Ponferrada with instructions in Spanish (use Google translate if necessary - I did) to collect and transfer for the following night. Leave your bag, where advised by your host, with €6 in cash, before 8 am. Sr Mar will reply (briefly - he's a man of few words.) You will find your bag at your lodging. Repeat. It's worked fine for me. He goes all the way from Ponferrada to SdC and is very reliable,

You can also schedule the whole route for a flat fee which is cheaper than booking by the day. In October 2021 it was ridiculously cheap less than €5/stage for a path way less traveled. On the last day it was only just to leave a thank you note and extra €.

En 2023 Manuel, de CASAMAR en Sobradelo (alojamiento para peregrinos también), se en cargaba de gestionar el traslado de mochilas.

In 2023, Manuel of CASAMAR in Sobradelo (pilgrim lodging as well) was responsible for managing backpack transfer.

Manuel even called me when I hadn't contacted him about picking up my bag to make sure that I didn't need him to transfer the bag the following day. He and his wife were wonderful.
