My friend and I walked the Camino from 15th May to 26th May 2010. It was the most wonderfully rewarding experience and one I would recommend to every walker or traveller.
Having used this forum to gain information, I wanted to discard a large part of my backpack for the walk and take only 10% of my body weight (as many had suggested). We used a freight company called SEUR and sent 2 backpacks of about 20kg combined weight from Lisbon to Santiago de Compostela (Ivan's Travel Centre) for about 36 euros. They picked them up from our hotel and we recovered them when we got to Santiago. I can hightly recommend them and this method if you only want to travel light.
