Luggage transfer Sarria onwards in March 25

Time of past OR future Camino

Hi, my little group of 4 is going to walk from Sarria to Santiago commencing on 28th March. We want to use luggage transfers every day, but I have been unable to pre-book online on any of the sites I’ve checked e.g. Correos, Pilbeo, Caminofacil, as they do not seem to have enabled 2025 booking yet. I get the impression that the ‘season’ starts at Easter but hope transfers are available earlier. I’ve emailed providers but not had any response so far - maybe people are still on leave.

Does anyone know for sure if luggage transfers are available in March? And if they are, is it necessary to be staying in places listed on their sites as pick-up points? We’ll be pre-booking accommodation in guest houses / pensions rather than auberges and are hoping to also pre-book the luggage transfers.

Don't worry. Correos covers Sarria to Santiago all year round. Just wait until closer to your departure date to book it.

There will also be envelopes in most accommodations for the major bag transport companies to do it on a day to day basis.

The Correos webpage is quite clear that the services from Sarria are available expect for some days around Xmas and New Year. The service in other places re-commences in Apr 2025.

Thanks both, much appreciated. Doug, yes, Correos do say it’s all year round and have an online pre-booking function, but doubt creeps in when you then can’t actually pre-book. So long as I’m sure the service will be available I don’t mind even doing it on the fly, but it would have been a major pain to find it isn’t available until April.

The reason I asked whether where we stay is important is partly because we are going to be doing short days with overnight stops in between some of the typical stages. From other threads on the forum and reviews, I’ve got the impression that it can be problematic if the lodging isn’t on the standard Correos pickup list.

I just tried it and it worked fine for 25 March.
I selected Winter Camino from the start point options.
If it doesn't auto translate it's this option "C. Francés (Temporada de Invierno) / Sarria"
