There are 4 of us cycling from biarritz airport to santiago - can someone recommend a company to drop off our backpacks to 10 different locations along the way?

I can’t make any recommendations partly because I haven’t used a bag transfer service, but principally because using such a facility would complicate a simple pilgrimage. If you are bringing your own bikes, bring a pair of panniers instead of backpacks; if not, hire the panniers with the bikes. Bicigrinos and their bags should never be separated: that way, you are free to ride just as far as you like each day instead of committing yourself to reach a pre-arranged destination. Pack only what you need — change of clothes, toiletries, first aid kit for you and the bike, whatever electronic stuff you can’t do without — and it shouldn’t be an encumbrance. Above all, enjoy the ride at your own pace.

What distances are you intending to cover. Correos Paq Mochila has a limit of 60km and I suspect your daily distances are more than that.

At a pinch, for 4 cyclists, you can use a local taxi firm at about €2.00 / km - a rate I paid last year.
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
