Luggage transfer and/or storage on Camino de Madrid and El Salvador

[Masalawoman]

Hello, I'll be walking the Camino de Madrid in late September and October as part of a longer trip so have a bit more luggage with me than I'd like to carry while walking. Do any of you know of a reliable luggage transfer service that serves this particular route, especially one that does not require a fixed itinerary from the outset? And if there is no such service can you recommend a place to store luggage in Madrid for a month? Thank you!

No, there is no luggage transfer. You might be able to manage finding cabs to transport it for you but that would likely be very pricey. The part between Pola de Gordón and Campomanes would likely be the trickiest to even find a cab.

Can you just ship it all ahead from León to Oviedo? The Spanish postal service will ship suitcases up to 25 kilos, and León has a huge post office. You could also try UPS, which operates in Spain.

For the Camino de Madrid part of your question, there is no luggage transfer service there either. I think your absolutely best bet is to leave all luggage in Madrid. Many/most hotels will store it for you if you stay there at both ends of the trip. There are also luggage storage services, but that will likely be more pricey.
