A friend in Oviedo sent me this update from a taxi company named
Taxi Camino. I’ve translated the notice.
Tomorrow the 24th of August, we will transport 222 pieces of luggage on the Camino Primitivo. With last minute calls and a few who never remember to call, we will have many more than that by the end of the day. We appreciate your trust in us.
Mañana 24 de
#agosto moveremos 222 equipajes en el
#caminoprimitivo que serán bastantes más con llamadas de última hora, algún despistado/ada que no se acordó de avisar...
Imposible agradecer tanta confianza.
This is just one of several transport options on the Primitivo, so you do the math!
My suggestion would be that before you sign up for this service, think about the fact that you are losing an opportunity to strip down to basics, enjoy a sense of self-reliance and competence, not to mention the flexibility that comes with having your stuff with you.
You may well find you need to use backpack transport for health or medical reasons, and then you will be glad to have all these options. But if you are just doing it because it’s easier, you might want to reconsider what you’re giving up in exchange. The rewards are many.
