I have seen on U-tube that you must be wary of the luggage/pack transport companies moving your luggage around. They reported thefts from the luggage and packs and warn people not to keep valuables in them like money passports, and electronics, (Which makes sense to a degree). They also mention...
I have just been trying to book a Ryanair fare from Santiago and I have to choose a luggage option. I was wanting to put my 37 litre backpack in the overhead lockers, but there is a size restriction of 55x40x20. Unfortunately there also seems to be a restriction to checked baggage size (also...

Hi there
We are 3 women planning on walking from Porto to SDC. My travel buddies want to book AirBnB's and book transfers through one of the transfer companies. I'd prefer to book through a group where everything is pre-organised. Whats better? I'm concerned that our luggage will get...
Good afternoon all, a group of us from Oz will be doing the Le Puy camino late in May 2023. A few years ago we used Ivar's luggage receive/storage service which worked a treat. We posted 2 x suitcases via the Spanish Postal Service.
We were wondering if there is a similar service in SJPP?

Hola!
I’m beginning my first CP on Feb 18, and after lots of research and planning I’m now just learning that the baggage transfer companies are not operating till March or April. The Camino will provide - I hope. I would like the last section of my Camino (Tui to SdC) to be with a baggage...

Mobility issues prevent me from carrying own pack. Thanks
This year I'll be staring in Ponte de Lima so after a short while I will be passing into Spain.
I like the idea of using Correos for bag transport but I think they only operate in Spain (which would be understandable).
If that's the case should I use another carrier to move the bags in Portugal...
Since 2015 I walked different caminos, always carrying my backpack. The idea that I carry all that I need on my own back still attracts me. Last year I got kneeproblems and had to quit the Via Sanabres. Allthough at the moment my knee is not a big problem, I feel that it is still a weak point...

Muchis Gracias in advance
