    Luggage pickup in Oporto for luggage transfer (heat/my lodging doesn't work with pack transfer services!)

    Hmm. I received a message from one of the companies not to leave my bags here. Unsure about the potential issue, but wanted to post the advisory. I am sure it is fine as a left luggage place. Camino Facil also offered the option to meet their driver (around 8:30-9 am).

    Luggage pickup in Oporto for luggage transfer (heat/my lodging doesn't work with pack transfer services!)

    Yes, just heard from Tui Trans 😀 They can pick up from there. They are also on the Camino Facil list. Spot Luggage & Lounge https://g.page/spotluggageandlounge?share It is in front of the main exit of Trindade Station Rua de Camões 33, 4000-144 Porto, Portugal (Open from 08:00) . I looked at...

    Consigna Spot Luggage and Lounge was on Camino Facil's list (which sounds like a left luggage sort of place)

    Luggage pickup in Oporto for luggage transfer (heat/my lodging doesn't work with pack transfer services!)

    Thank you! I think I can change some lodging further down the line, but believe most of the others will likely be in their list (this place is a bit of an anomaly, sort of apartment style). I thought of the left luggage option, as there's a place on Camino Facil's list that sounded like it might...

    Luggage pickup in Oporto for luggage transfer (heat/my lodging doesn't work with pack transfer services!)

    My husband and I are starting the Portuguese Central route from Oporto on Sunday (walking to Gião, where we have a reservation). Due to the heat, we are thinking of using a luggage transfer service. However, the place I'm staying says they don't work with the pack transfer services. Do you know...

    Buying Alsa bus ticket Santiago to Porto?

    Hi! Rome2Rio shows 3 daily Alsa buses from Santiago to Porto. When I search the Alsa web site and the Alsa app, I get the message "no available routes for the trip you have entered." I tried different dates (my preferred departure date is Monday 23 October). I tried Santiago de Compestela...

    Bag transport in November

    I am on the Frances right now, and using Camino Facil. Their web site/online booking ended October 27, but I have been emailing reservations each day (contacto@caminofacil.net). They need the origin and destino albergue (with address and phone number). I ask them to email me back a confirmation...

    Thank you, all! We picked up the credentials at Carbajalas pilgrim albergue this morning. : ) The trip came together a bit quickly, and I ran out of time to request one at home...

    How do you "relieve yourself" when a toilet is not available?

    Yes, on @Kanga's post! Most female backpackers carry a "pee rag" while backpacking i.e., just a bandanna tied to the outside of the backpack, which gets un-yucky in the sunshine (I still rinse it at night). This saves carry out, plastic bags, disposal, etc. If you are walking in wilderness...
