I'km walking Del Norte starting May 26 from San Sebastian. Because I recently broke a couple of ribs, I can't carry my pack for about a month. Does anyone have information about the company that will drive my pack forward? I saw something "somewhere," but cannot find it. Thanks

I didn't think Correos covered del Norte. So glad it does. Besides, they have a cool video on their website!

Correos is not going to be helpful on a day to day basis. They'll be good for mailing a bulkier amount 5 or 6 days to two weeks forward.

Or do they have a new service?

Correos has a good daily transport service throughout Spain. See more in detail here for the Camino Norte.

Please read the smallprint, Pilgrims:

[Correos] "This service is available for the French Way from Roncesvalles, the Portuguese Way from Tui, the Primitive Way from Oviedo, the Northern Way from Gijón and Avilés. "

That means approximately only the last 300km of The Norte.
