    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...

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

    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...

    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...

    How Much Time to Allow from MAD/Barajas to Estacion Sur to Catch Bus to Leon?

    Many thanks!! Yes, I agree on more time/less stress (as soon as I wrote this, I think I knew the answer!) The train actually leaves from Chamatrin, not Atocha (latter is near Estacion Sur). Chamatrin is for the northern trains and on the northern side of Madrid. Good point on arrival time...
