Luggage transfer on the Camino Baztán?

[daveo19]

My wife and I walked our only camino, to date, last fall. I booked all of our lodgings, mostly private rooms in Albergues or Hostels. I booked all our nights between SJPdP and Pamplona before leaving home. After that, I booked two nights ahead, as we walked. I never had difficulty booking on my own and liked having the flexibility to short days and days off as we walked.

I would look for properties that listed a WhatsApp number, typed up my request in English, ran that through Google Translate into Spanish. Then I sent both, as a single message, to the property through WhatsApp. I usually got a response, even to say the rooms were booked. The few times I did not succeed that way, I used booking.com

Good Luck

Jim

Is the a company to transfer baggage on the Camino Baztan?

Ps. We started the Camino Baztan in Bayonne in May this year. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Refuge Saint-Jaques in Bayonne. You can book ahead. There is also gite Accueil Pèlerins Sainte-Elizabeth in Saint Jean de Luz, though I don’t have first hand experience.

We are looking for luggage transfer companies on the Camino Baztan. Are you aware if any??

There is no organized pack transfer company that I know of on the Baztán. There is just a handful of people who walk it, so it just wouldn’t make business sense for someone to do. I suppose you could inquire with taxi companies in Bayonne about transport on the French side, and then see about taxies on the Spain side — Elizondo, maybe? This would be a very expensive way to do it but I think it’s your only option.

Do you mean day by day pack / luggage transfer to each night’s destination? If so, I’m not aware of any service on the Baztan. There are not many people walking so I doubt it would be worthwhile for the various services to operate on that path.

If you mean luggage to be sent directly from Bayonne to Pamplona perhaps that’s possible through postal services, thought it can take longer sending between countries (ie France and Spain) than within.

Maybe someone else will have more info.
