    luggage post-Invierno

    One other option for you to consider might be to head on up to Ponferrada and use Manual the luggage transfer guy on that walk. He seems to charge 6 euros per bag per section, it might be a bit more expensive than storage but it would only be marginal. I can send you his WhatsApp contact if you...

    luggage post-Invierno

    Hi Alissa, we've just arrived in Madrid ahead of our Frances/Invierno walk in a couple of days. Just be mindful that getting out of Madrid airport and into Atocha can be quite slow. We touched down at 2:10pm and it's now 5:50. We've been in the hotel for about 15 minutes. You could speed this up...

    Up to date senior discount for trains?

    So, is it possible to purchase the Tarjeta Dorada online before arriving into Spain?. If not, the discount available with the Tarjeta may not be as much as the discount available when you book train travel in advance. As an example, I'm arriving in Madrid late August and will catch the train up...

    Madrid to St Jean in one day?

    Thanks for your time Kanga, much appreciated. I think the issue with the ALSA website is they don't run the service over their winter months, not enough customers I'd imagine. I've found a link to a local cab company that can be booked in advance and will try and hook up passengers together to...

    Madrid to St Jean in one day?

    Hi Kanga. Do you happen to remember any of the bus details from Pamplona?. Rome2Rio suggests there's a daily ALSA bus. However the ALSA website seems to think otherwise, only throwing up an error message, no matter what date I try. Thanks for your help. Ross

    Luggage transfer during Jan/Feb (French Way)

    Hi, I've had similar issues where I've flown into the E.U from Australia with the intention of staying on long after the Camino walk I'm doing has finished. My baggage solution, while not ideal, it at least works. I will fly into a major city, Madrid works for the Camino Frances, leave my...

    Another luggage transport query

    That's great information Pat, thanks very much. I notice that at the moment they are only offering the service from Sarria. I'm guessing that at some point next year they will open up the online booking service to add in extra stages.

    Thanks for the tip Trecile, much appreciated.

    Another luggage transport query

    I'm sure this has been covered extensively already; however, I can't seem to find a quick and easy answer. We are in the initial stages of thinking about our next walk, this will be our fifth, and while we have never used a luggage transport service before, the idea of getting our packs shipped...

    BlaBlaCar

    Great service in my opinion. Used it to beat the French train strike on a trip from Le Puy to Lyon after finishing the Geneva Camino this year. All the registered drivers come with insurance courtesy of BBC as well in case of any mishaps.
