Has anyone here used pack transport on the Camino Madrid?

Annie, I am virtually certain there is no jacotrans or caminofácil type business on this route. I think you would have to use taxis, but even that could be dicey given the relatively unpopulated parts of the country that some of the route goes through.

This is pure speculation but wouldn't the Correos service cover this route? http://elcaminoconcorreos.es/

Well, the reason I was asking wasn't for me.
I did a blog this morning on bag transport and just wondered if there was transport on that route.

What about on the VDLP?
Or other routes besides the CF.

Here's the blog link, in case anyone has corrections or additions to my info:

The map on the Eorovelo site here http://www.eurovelo.com/en/news-items/the-spanish-post-correos-helps-cyclists-along-the-camino implies that the Via de la Plata is included in the Correos service but it doesn't feature in Correos' own list here http://www.correos.es/ss/Satellite/...dos_paqueteria/detalle_producto-sidioma=es_ES.

Someone with better Spanish than mine might like to enquire. Though if the Correos phone-line is as efficient as HMRC here in the UK it might be quicker to walk it and see.
