Hi all, I'm doing my first Camino Portuguese from Porto in April 2020 and my elderly parents will be joining. It's going to be easier for my 78 year old mother if her backpack can be delivered like on the Frances. Does anyone know if this is an option on the Portuguese?

It surely is. If you are starting in Porto, Tuitrans is a good option. Very reliable and prices affordable. https://tuitrans.com/?lang=en

Caminofacil also offers bag transport service, I have used and they were perfect!

We used Tuitrans twice, in 2018 and this year, and found them reliable and responsive. In both years, they were willing to accommodate changes in the itinerary.

I also used Tuitrans in 2015 albeit only from Tui to SdC but they were very efficient, reliable and helpful.
Highly recommend.
Buen Camino

We used Tuitrans in May this year from Porto to SdC-we dealt with Tatiana and she was most helpful.

Tatiana at TuiTrans just said there are road problems and they may not be able to get my (2 kilo extra weight) bag from Porto on Oct 21 to SdC by Nov 11.
Price would be 75 Euro so decided to discard or carry the extra kilos.
