End of may, on a Friday, I will have to send some smaller items (including foldable walking sticks) home, that are not compatible with Iberia's hand luggage restrictions. My plane goes in later afternoon and I will arrive in Santiago around lunch time.
Any advice on where to get a parcel (the...
Hi All,
april first I start walking my first Camino on the camino Frances from SJPP. I than plan to walk on to finisterre/muxia, take a bus back to santiago de compostella and walk to Porto in reverse (or the start of the way to Fatima) along the coastal route. After that I plan to go surfing in...
Hi all
I start from Irun on 6 June and plan to send my main luggage on to Casa Ivan for collection at the end. I’m guessing my case will be around 15 kg. Has anyone any idea of the Correos cost to send it to Casa Ivan?
I could use the Correos pilgrims system but prefer to have more flexibility...
Hello everyone,
I am disappointed to report I was recently diagnosed with a DVT in my left leg and it has thrown my planned camino in early June into total disaray.
Whilst I know I have a genetic disposition to clotting, it seems my long hours sitting poorly during my office job is chief...

Hi, I will be travelling independently from SJPD to Santiago in early April. I want to use Correos to transfer my bag however it appears they only transfer from Roncesvalles. Please can anyone give a suggestion on how to get my bag from SJPDP to Roncesvalles on day one. Many thanks. Nicola.
I have seen on U-tube that you must be wary of the luggage/pack transport companies moving your luggage around. They reported thefts from the luggage and packs and warn people not to keep valuables in them like money passports, and electronics, (Which makes sense to a degree). They also mention...
I have just been trying to book a Ryanair fare from Santiago and I have to choose a luggage option. I was wanting to put my 37 litre backpack in the overhead lockers, but there is a size restriction of 55x40x20. Unfortunately there also seems to be a restriction to checked baggage size (also...
Hello. I’m starting out from St Jean PDP on April 12 - flying in to Paris from Australia. I would like to have a suitcase transferred from Paris to Santiago De Compostella. does anyone have some advice about whether this is possible and the most economical way. I don’t need the luggage during...
Hi my name is Angela I’m new to this forum. We are looking to do 1 week last 100km from Baiona to Santiago but we are travelling from New Zealand so will have luggage as we are doing a little exploring of France and Spain too.
Other than using a tour operator such as Camino or Santiago Ways...
Hi there
We are 3 women planning on walking from Porto to SDC. My travel buddies want to book AirBnB's and book transfers through one of the transfer companies. I'd prefer to book through a group where everything is pre-organised. Whats better? I'm concerned that our luggage will get...
Good afternoon all, a group of us from Oz will be doing the Le Puy camino late in May 2023. A few years ago we used Ivar's luggage receive/storage service which worked a treat. We posted 2 x suitcases via the Spanish Postal Service.
We were wondering if there is a similar service in SJPP?
Has...
Hola!
I’m beginning my first CP on Feb 18, and after lots of research and planning I’m now just learning that the baggage transfer companies are not operating till March or April. The Camino will provide - I hope. I would like the last section of my Camino (Tui to SdC) to be with a baggage...
Hi folks.
I'm sure this is supposed to be easy to find but I've ben roaming the Correos website without success.
Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
I'm not looking for Paq Mochila
And not looking to send stuff ahead to Santiago (Ivar is great for that).
But I'll be walking...
Hi I have just quoted my backpack transfer with corres from SJPP to Santiago. 667 euro total, which is almost aud$1000.
Can anyone recommend a cheaper company who are reliable please?
Mobility issues prevent me from carrying own pack. Thanks
This year I'll be staring in Ponte de Lima so after a short while I will be passing into Spain.
I like the idea of using Correos for bag transport but I think they only operate in Spain (which would be understandable).
If that's the case should I use another carrier to move the bags in Portugal...
Since 2015 I walked different caminos, always carrying my backpack. The idea that I carry all that I need on my own back still attracts me. Last year I got kneeproblems and had to quit the Via Sanabres. Allthough at the moment my knee is not a big problem, I feel that it is still a weak point...
