The Correos Paq Mochila limit is 15 kg. I don't know about other operators.

Do you need everything on a daily basis? If not, you can send the things that you don't need every day to Santiago or wherever you are planning to finish. Where are you starting from?

Starting in St Jean Pied de Port x 5 days to Estella

You could buy a second bag and ship two bags that would meet the weight limit each day.

Ryanair charge was 30 euros each way for a 10kgs bag and 31 euros for a 20 kgs bag... my wife and I sharing a 20kgs bag!!
If I buy a new bag my saving gone but not the end of the world...a first world problem!

What in the world could you possibly need on a daily basis that weighs 20kgs!?!? Even for two people, that’s a massive amount of “stuff” you’re hauling with you!

Caminofacil has a 20kg limit.

A number of things spring to mind, medications, CPAC or other medical equipment, for example.

Or Camino walking for 5 days from SJPP to Estella, as described, and then going elsewhere. 10 kg per person isn’t much.

I’m on a 5 day trip and my suitcase for myself alone weighs more than 10 kg. Hundreds of days of backpack carrying and weight minimising and double use of items … and I learnt nothing for my daily life. Because: “I might use it” and “It might be good to have” continue to be my mottos.

@padmarbuc, did you study the posts on weight reduction in the backpack threads? The Camino teaches you how to live with less, it is said. Thanks to this forum, you can take a few lessons already before you leave for SJPP .

Buen Camino!

I typically take more than that for a weekend in London ..... but joyfully manage with 6 or 7kg on a Camino
