Hi, we plan to walk the camino portugese from Porto to Santiago in Sept 2017. we were wondering about baggage transfers. do we have to book in advance (with baggage transfer company) or can we just go to any hotel in any town and ask for our luggage to be sent on. thanks for any advice.

Hi , thank you for that info. we were planning on staying in private albergues or small hotels. would we need to book these in advance or could we risk just booking the night before and then let Tui Trans know?
thanks for any info

Usually all accommodation on the camino not just pilgrim albergues has tags and ìnfo for luggage services. Read "A Easy Process" on the TuiTrans web for further how to info.

Hi. I'm wondering what you found out on this topic. We are leaving on May 2nd to walk from Lisbon to Santiago. I have developed some shoulder issues and not sure I can carry my backpack so we are wondering if there is a service that can be contacted the day/night before it is needed, as we don't know where we will be each night - plan as we go! We will be staying at small B&Bs, hotels along the way. Thank you.

My experience is TuiTrans will stop just about anywhere along the CP and pick-up or deliver bags between Porto and Santiago. I have not walked from Lisboa, so I have no experience with them south of Porto.

Thank you. Perhaps we will walk from Porto. Have to follow the edict: "Make it your own Camino. " Do what we can. Adapt when necessary. Practice what we preach!

That is a big difference walking from Lisboa takes you about a month. FromPorto you could easy do it in two weeks.

I walked from Lisbon once but never heard of luggage transfer on the leg from Lisbon to Porto. And that is the biggest part of the Caminho Português

Bom caminho

We are planning to walk from Tui and will be using Tuitrans. On the stop at Caldas de Reis we will be staying at Torre do Rio which is about 2km from town. Does anyone know if Tuitrans will deliver and pick up from there?

Hi there! I used pilgrim backpack transport during my Camino Portuguese and was very happy with the service. They're cheap and great communication during the whole camino.

My wife and daughter just used tuitrans to transfer their Bags from stage to stage for €5 a go each. They also used them to get from Vigo airport to Tui. I think €30. They found them flawless. They operate from Oporto to Santiago and also service the spiritual variant. Hope this helps.

Another happy customer of Tuitrans here. They got my suitcase in Porto, kept it for a few days and delivered in Santiago the day I arrived, exactly as I asked. Price was affordable and they communicated very well by email.
