The Camino Portugues with Caminofacil and TransferTaxi.es

16 November, 2015

We are hard at work preparing the upcoming season of the Camino, and today we can announce that, as part of our services, next year we will be providing luggage transfer services in the Camino Portugues (Portuguese Way) through our friends at Transfertaxi.es.

Transfertaxi.es
is a cab service located in Pontevedra which provides 24 hours transports and covers the airports of Vigo, Santiago and Oporto. Transfertaxi.es also offers day trips through Galicia, services for events and all kinds of transport and messaging services.
The Camino Portugués starts in Lisbon, and passes along the portuguese cost through Coimbra and Oporto before entering Spain through Tui. Caminofacil and Transfertaxi.es offer our services in the following stages:
  1. Tui – Porriño.
  2. Porriño – Redondela.
  3. Redondela – Pontevedra
  4. Pontevedra – Caldas de Reis.
  5. Caldas de Reis – Padrón.
  6. Padrón – Santiago de Compostela.

If you are going to walk the Camino Portugués and need your backpack carried for you, call us! We will be delighted to help you.
 
Very light, comfortable and compressible poncho. Specially designed for protection against water for any activity.

Our Atmospheric H30 poncho offers lightness and waterproofness. Easily compressible and made with our Waterproof fabric, its heat-sealed interior seams guarantee its waterproofness. Includes carrying bag.

€60,-
In my opinion nothing news. Tuitrans is covering that part since a long time.

More interesting should be a service being covered from Lisbon to Porto.
That should be great news for them who want lugage transport.
 
Cheers Annie. Will sent the link to my friends who are walking the Portugues next month. Good to know they have more options.

@madge.conboybrowne
It is possible to walk 3-4 day trips from Lisbon to Santarem and train back to Lisbon if you wish. That means you are walking without your pack as you will keep your pack in Lisbon at your hostel there.
The hostal in Santarem (Mario), the hostel Tomar2000 (Fernando) and hospitalero Carlos in Alvaiazere have organized together a pick-up- drop-off service. @santaremhostel
So actually you can walk at least to one day trip PAST Alvaiazere without your pack because Carlos would drive your pack up to your next stop.
