    Hi, I found Santiago Backpacker luggage transfers at +351 913 376 056 or santiagobackpackerexpress@gmail.com to be fantastic on my trip from Oporto to Santiago. Contact Maria Teresa there. She has been a pilgrim so she knows what it is like.

I used one Airbnb in Vila do Conde which was an absolute disaster!
