Hi! I plan to go on El Camino Portugues starting in Vigo this summer, and after, I am going to explore Europe. I need a suitcase for my trip after El Camino, and I have been struggling to understand the luggage transfer posts.

It seems like luggage transfer is where they take your backpack and deliver it to you at each stop which is not what I am looking for. I want to give my suitcase to a company in Vigo and have it delivered to Santiago de Compostela so I can pick it up when I finish. Does this exist? Has anyone else done this?

Thanks!

I see that you can use the Correos for a Paq Peregrino, has anyone used this on El Camino Portugues and/or in Vigo?

You have a number of options: send via Correos with Paq Peregrino to be held at the Santiago post office.


Send to Casa Ivar via Correos


Or use one of the luggage transfer companies to send direct to Santiago

 
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.
