does anybody know if the ferry from Caminha or any of the small boats are running now? I know the ferry is dependant on the tides, I'm just not sure if it's running at all.
 
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
I don’t know about now, but twice when I’ve had to cross there the ferry wasn’t running because the tide was low, but there was a man there with a small power boat that took me across for less than €10. He was docked near the ticket office for the ferry. The first time I used him I was told about his service by a woman inside that ran the little snack bar.
 
Everyone in Caminha knows Mario, the fisherman who ferries you across. Perhaps there are others, but if you ask at the tourist office, they will tell you how to reach Mario, so my advice is to go there first. His number, when we crossed, several years ago was (+351) 96-341-6259. Mario charged us 5 Euros for the crossing.
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
Just left Caminha this morning, ferry runs from 10 am, except for Mondays. There is a fisherman who can take you over the other side, but he has a small boat, not more than 6 people. He works from 7 am.
 
€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.
