Luggage from Tui?

Time of past OR future Camino
"2016"
Hello. We will be walking from Tui to Santiago de Compostela in a couple of weeks and will be carrying our back packs. I have been incredibly sick over the last month and am a bit concerned about my level of fitness as I have not been able to do any walking during that time to prepare (although I am generally a keen walker). My question is - if I find walking with a pack too onerous (it's how I normally travel), would it be possible to hire a taxi to carry our luggage from one town to the next? I'm sure I'm going to be up to walking by the time I get there but am now not sure about whether I'll be up to carrying my pack. Thanks to anyone who may have some information to offer.

this was on the resources section https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/resources/caminofácil.400/
(it wasn't easy to find, and I haven't used it)
edit: there is also this one: http://hike-tech.com/ end edit

[disclaimer I haven't used either]
they appear to carry bags on the Portugues...I don't know about taxi's...

I hope you are better soon and Buen Camino

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.
Many commercial companies doing transport of backpacks .About €4 /5 per section. I have just walked a week ago so have have seen.
Tuitrans & correos (post office) ect. All collect from lodging ie private or albergue & deliver to your destination.
 
It appears on the Camino Portugese more people are transporting their packs than are wearing them. Some don't even bother with packs and use regular suitcases.

Plenty of options to chose from.
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.


thank you for your help.
