Pack transport question

[Pattisills]

Having had neck fusion surgery a few years back, I’m looking into hiring someone to transport my pack from place to place. I plan to hike, wearing my backpack, at home this summer, so I should have a pretty good idea how my neck feels before hiking the Camino Del Norte starting in early September, but still, I want to know my options in advance. Does anyone know if Its possible to assess how I’m doing on a daily basis, or a frequent basis, and then could easily arrange for transport to the next layover on the morning of departure, or the night before? How do the transport services work, in general? And, who offers these types of services? Sorry if these sound like silly questions, but I much appreciate the help.

I can't help with assessing how you're doing on a daily basis, but I can recommend Correos (Spanish Post Office) for luggage transfer. Very reliable, and cheap.

The handy thing about bag transport is that you can take it day by day, you dont have to book the whole trip ahead. I havent walked the Norte, I'm sure it wont be much different from the Frances

Correos have been fantastic so far for me on the Norte. You do have to know at least a day ahead where you’re staying and beware that some albergues don’t support bag transfer.

Gracias, thank you. Anyone know if there is a comprehensive list of Albergue s that support transport? If not, I will contact Correos directly.

I walked the Norte last fall and although I carried my pack there seems to be more and more services for bag transport for those in need. As Jan Jones said above the Correos have worked for her too! Buen Camino, It was tough but wow was it worth it.

The Correos website has a comprehensive list of all the places they serve.
