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?
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
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.
 
Thanks all for the quick responses! Very much appreciated

I also used Tuitrans in 2015 albeit only from Tui to SdC but they were very efficient, reliable and helpful.
Highly recommend.
Buen Camino
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-
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.
 
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.
