Luggage storage

[Scottteresa30]

Can someone tell me how much it is to store your luggage at the post office and Santiago.
And what are their hours?

You will find the information about shipping luggage to Santiago along with prices for storage on the Correos website.

Send luggage along the Camino de Santiago

With Correos you can send your luggage to any point on the Camino de Santiago with the Paq Peregrino.

www.elcaminoconcorreos.com

I recently sent an email to Correos asking when luggage and packages can be picked up at the Santiago office, and this was the response:

you can pick up your suitcase or backpack the seven days of the week, from 8.30 to 20.30.

Does anyone know if this service is available from Porto? If I haven’t ordered a Paq ahead of time, do Portuguese post offices carry them?

No, it's not available in Porto because it's a different postal system. I'd look at having my luggage shipped via Tuitrans or another luggage service - they do direct transport in addition to daily transfer.

Hi, sorry to muscle in on your question but I have a related question, is there a luggage storage service at Porto airport? We have had to shorten our Camino trip as we were delayed leaving Australia but don’t want to postpone until next year. we want to walk for 10 days and then return to Porto. We‘ll have other baggage so we need to store it until our return. I’ve looked at several websites but nome provide enough information.

I would look for a hotel that offers luggage storage.

Just wondering if you found a hotel to store your luggage? I’m planning to do the same thing as you so would be interested to know if you were able to find somewhere?

We ended up sending our luggage through to Tui and then picked it up from there. As we were delayed leaving Australia, we had big decisions on whether we could keep going in the time window we had and no way of knowing whether we would be able to achieve it, we didn’t want to be dictated to by our luggage and we wanted to do the Camino at our pace. We decided to use TuiTran and they have a storage service in their office and will keep your luggage for you until you arrive in Tui. That way we could decide when we got there on whether to send it on to SdC if we were to continue. As it turned out we took one day more than we had planned to get to Tui so left the Camino there and we’ll pick it up again in Tui next year and finish the rest of the Camino. Tuitrans were very good, so prompt, I’d get an email response back in 5 minutes each time I had a question and they have a service where they will send your luggage to the hotel of your choice when you arrive, having stored it for the period. We will probably do the same again next year, starting again at Tui, store the bags there and then have them send the bags through to Santiago in time for our arrival. There are other services including Ivar’s but this one just worked out for us.

Thanks so much for your response. It sounds like a good approach. Can I just clarify - did TuiTran pick up your luggage from your hotel in Lisbon?

We sent the bags on from Porto, they picked them up from our hotel after we left.

It`s been a few years, but I also used Tuitrans on my camino. They collected my luggage from the hotel in Porto, kept it in their deposit and delivered to a hotel I booked in Santiago the day before my arrival. They were really responsive. Good to hear the services are still on point
