There are several livery companies. Such as this: http://www.xacotrans.com/?lang=en
Dependable and will pick up and drop off, no problems.
Check for your route, or someone else may have more details.
The pack transfer service on the Norte is a network of taxi drivers (not like the Frances). Costs about 1 eu/km. You most likely have to make arrangements with taxis.Hmm. Turns out xacotrans don't cover the Campano Ingles; and ideally I'd like to have access to our bags during the week rather than sending them on to Santiago.
Presumably it wouldn't be impossible (albeit a bit pricey) to book a taxi at each stopping point to take our bags to the next one? (If it all gets too much I might hitch a lift at the same time ;-) )
www.jacotrans.com is who we used on the English Route last year. We had a bit of a complicated schedule and they kept up with us with 8 different hotels/pensiones.
It was very nice to have the whole suitcase at the end of each day!

Hi all,
My husband and I are planning to do our first camino next week - all very spontaneous (for good reason, having just come through a very difficult couple of months); we're reasonably experienced and frequent walkers, I've read up as much as I've been able to so far, and we have accommodation booked in Pontedeune, Belanzos, San Paio, Marantes and Santiago - so I'm hoping that gives us a manageable itinerary.
BUT: we are then going to spend a further couple of weeks elsewhere in Spain - so although we can travel reasonably light for the actual camino, we do need to bring suitcases for our extended stay. Does anyone have experience of arranging baggage transfers other than going through the organised tour companies? I'm wondering if it is easy to arrange a taxi to take bags on ahead each day, perhaps.
Any thoughts (on this or on our planned itinerary!) much appreciated!
Thanks,
Jane
They've emailed me with a quote and asked for payment in advance - is that how you did it?www.jacotrans.com is who we used on the English Route last year.
Many thanks!Right you are! No post office in Roncesvalles. First Spanish po for sending package from is Pamplona. Mailing from SJPdP to SdC would cost more since package goes from France to Spain. Check Express Bourricot web for way to send package direct to SdC from France.
Very interesting! "Price: 70€ per suitcase, 20kg max, transport and storage [in Santiago] included." Not cheap, but it's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks again!Right you are!

Hi, I packed too much on my trip last month, and thankfully discovered the Correos service--called Mi Mochila. They transported my duffel bag (so my backpack was very light for walking) for 5 euro each day, from Sigueiro to Santiago and then from Santiago to Fisterra. They do not go to Muxia, but there are others that do. They are very reliable. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again, but hopefully for my next trip, it won't be necessary!
Another option that I discovered from a fellow peregrina near the end of my trip, was you can ship your stuff to the main post office in Santiago and they will hold it there until you can pick it up. Not entirely sure exactly how that works but it might be less expensive than taxi-ing your stuff all over Spain.
