Time of past OR future Camino
August-September 2023
I will be experiencing the Camino for the first time in person this year( I have traveled there many times by way of imagination and YouTube) I am a photographer and will be documenting my trip both with camera and internally. Can anyone recommend a service that can book my stays as well as move some luggage from location to location?

Thank you in advance

Armando

More 2024 Camino Guides available
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
I was going to use one called thenaturaladveture.com, but decided to book myself. They are based out of England and do self guided walking tours
 
Most people here on the forum don't use a company to book accommodation for them. Many pilgrims just show up in town and find an albergue to stay in, while others book a day or two ahead. If you have never walked a Camino before it's hard to know how far you are able or want to walk each day. You also have to take into consideration that you may need or want to take some rest days due to illness, injury, or just want to explore one area a little longer. For these reasons I think that it's generally best to be in control of where you stay, and not turn that over to a company.

As far as transferring your bag each day there are a number of companies that will do that for you, and it's easy to book with them directly too.
 
You should contact your local American Pilgrims on the Camino chapter to talk to someone locally who can help you with logistics, and of course continue reading here on the forum. I walked my first Camino in 2016 and I learned 99% of what I needed to know before starting from this forum.

Be really careful in choosing. I've been reading too many posts lately about luggage not being dropped off someplace other than where it should go. It's bad losing extra clothes but catastrophic if its losing thousands of dollars in equipment.

If you use an iPhone consider getting some Apple Air Tags to be aware of where your equipment is. We have a thread on the topic.

I would think that those bringing expensive equipment would be using it while they are walking, so they wouldn't be sending it ahead with pack transport. But a good reminder that valuables and hard to replace essentials like medications should always be with you.
