Camino Frances - April-June, 2016
Portuguese Lisbon-Santiago - October, 2017
We have been using Jacotrans to transport my backpack (but not my husband's) for 7 euro (or sometimes 6) but have heard good things from those who use Correos. We got one of their envelopes and noticed that it said we could buy pre-paid cards with a discount at any Correos office. We went into the local post office here in Sahagun and picked up a 5 stage card for $20 - 4 euro each! Such a deal!
 
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.
Transport luggage-passengers.
From airports to SJPP
Luggage from SJPP to Roncevalles
Don't know if this is true or just "transport co" talk, but one thing that was brought to my attention is that if for some reason Correos misses or misplaces a bag it will not correct the mistake until the next day ...
 
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.

I don't know. Hope we never have that experience.

One update - you have 2 choices of informing of your transport - email or phone. We chose email, but they apparently do not acknowledge your request. When we didn't hear anything from them by the next morning we got worried, so went to the nearest Correos office (a block away). The person there did not understand English and in my poor Spanish I could not communicate to him my concern, in fact he did not seem to know much about the mimochila service at all. So we called the phone number. They did have us in the system. From now on we will avoid email and call them instead.
 
Interesting option. Since I have lost a couple of lista de correos packets in old times, may be a day to day correospacket is easier. Wonder if it is possible to manage this online from home and pay online. Tried to find out on Margareths link, but only saw the mail and phonenumber. Might of course send a mail and ask.
 
Down bag (90/10 duvet) of 700 fills with 180 g (6.34 ounces) of filling. Mummy-shaped structure, ideal when you are looking for lightness with great heating performance.

€149,-
