Thank you to the person who suggested packing a rucksack and poles in a packable holdall.
I bought one and checked in my rucksack and poles for my flight to Porto.

My holdall claims to accommodate 70L but packs very small when not in use.

Once our group of three reached Porrino we decided to load anything we didn't need to carry during the day into the one holdall and send it to our next stop. We could then carry our well fitting rucksacks with ease. Tuitrans luggage transport was easy to organise and the cost, 5€ between three of us, was not expensive.

A very useful tip. Thanks again
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
For a very cheap option, if you're anywhere near an Ikea store they do a holdall version of their big blue carrier bags which works beautifully for this sort of purpose and costs £3 UK. I've even seen them for sale on Ebay!
 
€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.
Mine came from Millets UK. It was very cheap in their sale.
