Backpack transfers

[DeniseT]

hello with 4.5 wks to go organising a couple things
I hear I can organise transport for my back pack to be transferred,
I think being especially the start and over the Pyrenees I potentially will be in a better place to continue.
1. If I go to pilgrim office at SJPDP can they help organise this in for my two stages. 1st night get it to orrisson then 2nd day to Roncellvoux
Is this expensive to do any tips would be greatly appreciated
I was also thinking of getting my credentials, a Buff, guide at SJPDP and thoughts would be greatly appreciated

They will transport your baggage the first day. They cannot transport in Spain, but the post office, Correos, and Jacotrans (and others) can do so.

What type of accommodation will you be using? Most places have the tags for the various luggage transfer services and can I'm sure advise on how to use it.

Can't speak for Albergues though.....

We have been forwarding our backpacks most days since St Jean - it's very easy. Every albergue so far has had a supply of envelopes for various transport companies we used Bourricot to Orisson and are now using NCS in Spain - but there are others and they all seem very very professional. Cost is 5€ per bag per day. Just fill out the envelope, put your 5€ in, seal it, attach it to your bag and leave it in the albergue or hotel in the morning - you need to let the company know by email or phone that you want pick up and you need to have decided where you want your bag delivered. Works great.

We sent it to the packs to the monastery in Roncesvalles, from Orrison. You'll be glad you did. That part of the route is stunningly beautiful, but has some challenging sections. Lots of people forward their packs. Buen camino!
