I arrive in Oviedo on Wednesday and I just booked all my stages with Correos Paq Mochila (Spanish Post Office service)

TaxiCamino served me all the way through the Primitivo. Available through WhatsApp and had envelopes in most places. They handed me off to JacoTrans at Boente

Yes , your current albergue will have an envelope to transport to your required next stop. I paid 5 euro to not carry my pack over the Hospialas route. Well worth it.

CaminoFacil also does luggage transfer. I've used them on both the Frances and the Portuguese - very reliable and they have a very user friendly website to arrange each day's transfer. https://caminofacil.net/en/

I have used Luggage Transfer services in my previous two "pilgrimages". To employ such service was to allow me "mindful walking" instead of mindful of the heavy backpack, puffing going up hill, etc. In my view, mindful walking enriches a pilgrimage in many ways.

A side benefit of using luggage transfer is it may help reduce the potential of having back pain, twisted ankle, etc.

Yes There are flyers for it in the albergues. I did one to Lugo.

Do you have contact details for TaxiCamino?

I'm doing snapshots from my WhatsApp...I started with an envelope at my first destination (Grado). They handed me off to Javier Mochilla Express when i got to Boente. They're on Facebook as well, but i don't use that.

HI, does anyone know if Municipal albergues in Asturias accept transferred bags? I know they don't in Galicia. I'm walking with my dad (76) and trying to make a vague plan and neither of us have used a transfer before but are considering it for this route. Thank you.
