Baggage transfer only from beginning to end along portuguese central, no stages

Portugués Central - November 2024
Hello!

I’ve been browsing the forum and there’s plenty of info for baggage transfers from stage to stage, where you pick it up daily, give it back and move on, however what I’m after is a service to deliver a suitcase when I start in Porto and then pick it up 2~3 weeks later in Santiago, I don’t need anything in between.

It’s just that before starting the camino i’ve been traveling through Portugal with luggage, I’m packing a smaller bag to do my camino with just the essentials c:

Also I see services have a 20kg limit, any experience with heavier bags? Haven’t weighed mine but i’m pretty sure it’ll be over that.

Thank you!
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.

Ivar will give you all the information you need on that website. For 2 bags shipped & stored in Santiago it ended up being about $200USD, but well worth it. We did it for the same reason you are. The pick up times on a weekend are limited. Good luck.

I used Pilbeo in 2023. Porto pickup, waiting in Santiago when I arrived, 70 euros.
 
We used Caminofacil. Picked up from Porto & dropped off to hotel in SdC. It cost 80 euros- Sept 2024.
BTW- we had an Apple tracker in the bag & it travelled slowly along the Camino as well! Assume was passed along with the daily luggage deliveries. Which would have been about the same price as direct. But really liked being minimal for the 2 weeks & no other bag to fuss with each day until reached the end & become “traveller” instead of “pilgrim” mode.
