:?: :?: Does anyone have information about companies on this route that transport backpacks from one town to the next? :?: :?:
Two of us will be walking from Santander to Ribadesella mid August and we are happy to pay for our bags to be delivered for us. We did this last year on the French route and it was super easy to organise and very cheap.
I'd be very grateful for any information. I know this isn't an issue for everyone's Camino so thanks in advance for reading my post ...

Although I cannot help with the name of a company there certainly is transportation on the Norte as we met an elderly gentleman, with metal knees, who had had his bag transported each day from Irun. We met him beyond Lugo using this system, having changed over to the Primitivo after Oviedo.

I think he had asked for information at the start of his trip and then took advice as he went along.
