      My backpacks range from 28L to 32L, depending on which route I'm walking. My daypack, if I'm using pack transport, is about 12L. Another option I have done if I'm using pack transport is to carry my regular 28L pack and put a few heavier items...

      We used JacoTrans. Bag transport service is excellent on the Camino Frances. (Haven’t experienced Dos Faros!) Every pickup and delivery was on time on two- and three-week Caminos in 2019, 2021 and 2023. Before each trip began, we decided how far...
