I'm having trouble arranging luggage transfers on the Norte as my locations (booked through booking.com) are not on the pickup menus for luggage transfer services. Has anyone used the Correos Citipaq lockers to send bags ahead. It sounds like you can go to these convenient locker locations & send a bag/ box ahead & pick it up in another city 24/7 at a designated locker location- a lot like Amazon lockers or those outside a Home Depot. I only need my bag every 5 or so days but sending to a postoffice is an issue since I will mostly be in the larger towns on weekends. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. https://www.correos.es/es/en/individuals/receive/our-drop-off-and-collection-points/citypaq
 
Ideal pocket guides for during & after your Camino. Each weighs only 1.4 oz (40g)!

So no one has a more flexible bag transfer option or tried Citipaq?
 
I hadn't heard of it before, but it sounds like it might be a good option for you, as you don't need your bag every day.

I think that one issue is that these lockers might not be available in the smaller towns.

It has also been reported by members that they have been able to work with Correos Paq Mochila to pick up and deliver to places not already on their list.

I'm interested to know why you only need your backpack every five days or so if you don't mind sharing.

be hot when we start & cold when wrapping up so I hope to keep colder gear, sleep sack in there. Also, another pair of shoes as I fight w foot issues. Would also be nice to carry a week’s worth of rx & other items. Have a back issue that can get cranky w too much weight. My friend & I would share one small duffel. I will reach out to Correos today for details. I’m hoping to only pick up the bag in larger cities like Bilbao, Santander, etc & since I wouldn’t have to get the bag out of a locker on a specific day, this might allow flexibility. Will let you know what I learn from Correos.

It seems like mailing prescription medications might not be possible:
Spain does not permit the mailing of prescription medications. While it's quite possible nobody will check, you might run into problems.

We had to list what was in our "box" when we forwarded it via Correos.
And personally, I would want to keep all necessary prescriptions with me at all times.
