Various routes 2016 - 2024
Since this question comes up quite often I thought that I'd compile a list of companies providing bag transport on the Camino. Some only cover Spain, while others operate in Portugal. Check the company's website to find out if they service the route that you want to walk.

Correos

Jacotrans

Caminofacíl

Pilbeo

Tuitrans

Top Santiago - Portugal

Please feel free to reply to this thread and add other companies, preferably with their website or contact info. If it's a company that only services one route like the Camino del Salvador or Invierno, please note that.

Before you ask about a particular route please check the links provided in this post first to see if it is covered by one of these companies.

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
I am looking at looking at Pilbeo and Jaco. Do you have to be staying at one of the places listed for them to pick up your bag?
 
I've been looking at the best transfer service for the Portuguese. When I look at the site it appears they want me to sign up for the entire trip, which seems to differ from the Francis where we decided on a day to day basis. Can someone provide some insight.

Also, I sent several questions to Tuitrans, who failed to respond. (like what their charge is). What is the best rated transfer service for this route? Top Santiago?

Any input is appreciated.
 
Top Santiago worked well on several occasions for our grop on the Portuguese. On 1 occasion we just had a few bags delivered by Uber

I’ve been using these guys aling the Camino Frances for the last few days since I got sick and they’ve been really fantastic!


I contact them in the evening to make a reservation and they are always quick to respond.
 
Just as a followup, I used TaXiCamino on the Primitivo all the way to...Boente, I think. They did one internal handoff after Lugo. Then they handed me off successfully to Javier Manuel, who used Jacotrans envelopes.

Can't say enough good things about TaXiCamino. Exceptionally responsive on WhatsApp, even with my bad Spanish. I would usually contact them between 1600-1800 for the next day, and they'd get back to me within 10 minutes.
 
Gerald Kelly’s guide to the Via de la Plata -
http://www.viadelaplataguide.net/ has a FAQ section which gives the following information for a new service on the Sanabrés :

“In 2023 a private company began offering a luggage transfer service on the Camino Sanabrés (from Granja de Moreruela to Santiago). Prices vary depending on distances. They can be contacted at servicioscaminosanabres@gmail.com or call or WhatsApp +34 674 56 98 70.”

I have contacted them by email - they replied immediately - they need a precise itinerary including dates and places of accommodation before giving me an idea of price. The service commences from Salamanca.

If anyone else has used them I would be interested to hear how it worked for them.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
On the Salvador there are a couple of taxi services that service the route. They are not cheap but reasonable - pretty much standard taxi rates. Great service.

Juan Morales - Léon to Pajares + 34 630 990 179

and Joaquin Moran ( a very pleasant person) from Pajares to Oviedo +34 619 146 726.
 
Does anyone know if I can forward a suitcase from Oviedo to Santiago to collect when I finish the Camino ? I will be traveling before and after the Camino .

Yes. You can use Correos, the Spanish post office to send the bag either to be held at the post office or to Casa Ivar.

Hi, is the post office where they send backpacks in Santiago this one? Santiago Post Office

Casa Ivar isn't coming up on the Correos website with the pull-down menu of locations?

I can’t answer the first question.

Correos deliver to every address in Spain. Are you looking at a specialised service like pac mochila? If you’re sending to Ivar by correos you’re using their conventional package delivery service as in @trecile s link above.
 
Ideal pocket guides for during & after your Camino. Each weighs only 1.4 oz (40g)!

Yes, I was referring to Pac Mochila.
 
When you send a parcel or bag to Casa Ivar it goes through the regular mail service, not via their Mochila transport service. So you follow @ivar's instructions here:


If you mail to the Santiago branch of Correos you use these instructions:

 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.

I am talking to Pilbeo. I gave them the places that I will stay each day and they made a plan to accommodate my plan and transfer the luggage from one place to the other. This is my first Camino, Anyone with experience using them ?. They seem to be responsive and very reasonable price wise
 
I'm booked with Paq Mochila through Correos. If my flight is delayed and I can't make the first pickup point on Day 1, will they still pick up my bag at the pickup point on Day 2 if I carry it there myself?

Just call or email them to let them know of your schedule change. You have until 8 pm each night to let them know where to pick up and deliver your bag.

Here's the page with their contact information:

 
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
