Hi everyone, I just received my new Camino Portugue book, one question does anyone know if there is a backpack service as on the Camino Frances, please?
 
Let us pick up your suitcase once you arrive in Europe....
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
Hi Aliwalks. The best transport for your luggage isJacotrans, I used a different company. Jacotrans always delivered a head of the company that I used. All the best Buen Camino

Tony, have you seen Jacotrans in the Portuguese? I thought they only did Frances!

Ali: I didn't need daily services, but used Tuitrans to take a suitcase from Porto straight to Santiago (they kept it in storage until the day I arrived. Service was good, easy to book and affordable. I saw a lot of pilgrims using them for daily backpack transport, so I'd recommend it!

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
Hi, can you tell me What are the average costs for backpack transport?
I will be doing the Portugues in May.
Thank you
 
Sorry Anaya I didn’t realise you were doing the Portuguese, I did the Frances.

In early 2017, Tuitrans was charging 7 euro per piece (suitcase/backpack) per stage (around 20km). Other companies where working around that price as well. I was there in April, so it may have changed a bit.

Hi
Jacotrans operates between Roncesvalles and Santiago only. They do not operate on the Camino Portugués.

Tuitrans operates between Porto and Santiago only, on all the routes: the Central, the Coastal and the Variante Espiritual.

For luggage transfer between Lisbon and Porto contact the hostels in Tomar and Santarém directly, as they may be able to help you.
