I'm not sure anyone used a sheep, castrated or otherwise, but I met people using pack transport from just after Lisbon when I walked in 2022. TuiTrans offers transport from Porto, but I am sure there are others who will also provide this service. I don't recall anyone who I thought was using pack transport ever carry their main luggage at any point on my more recent Caminos. If you were thinking of being selective about which sections, I think you will be one of very few who might do that.
 
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).



 
We just finished the Portugues Camino (from Porto) - used Pilbeo. They are the best! Others we talked to used someone else, were dissatisfied and switched to Pilbeo. Use Pilbeo!!
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
Just finished the Camino Portuguese and used Pilbeo, it was awesome. Saved my knees and back and I was suffering with blisters.
 
I have used Tui trans and found them very reliable.
 
We are starting the Portuguese next month. We’ve signed with caminofacil. So far they have been communicative and helpful. Can’t vouch beyond that
 
Join the Camino cleanup. Logroño to Burgos May 2025 & Astorga to OCebreiro in June
I’m coming up with the challenge of finding pack transfer beginning in Lisbon. Plenty from Porto & Tui. Kindly request any information starting from Lisbon. Thank you.
 
Did you see @trecile's post (#5) above?
I did. What I have found for CP is:

pilbeo = Porto to Santiago only
tuitrans = Porto to Santiago only
caminofacil = Porto to Santiago only
topsantiago = I’ve sent two emails and no response to my questions.
correos = only in Spain; I used them for CF and they provided excellent service.

Maybe I missed something on a website indicating any of them provide service from Lisbon???
