While trying to find bus schedule information this morning I blundered onto this website which you may (or may not) find useful: https://www.pilbeo.com/enWhich is the best transfer company to pre-book with, so my two group members can book, and pay, ahead of time, so they can walk stress-free? (me too)
Could I ask you where you decided to pre-book at? I am in the process of trying to decide my lodging and it is momentarily feeling overwhelming with the very little bit of time I have on the schedule. Any advice sure would be greatly appreciated!!Yeah, this is really me posting this. I have no experience whatsoever in sending bags ahead, other than seeing little envelopes in reception areas of albergues and hostals, so need some help here .
I am taking a group on the camino in September, and two of them want their bags transferred. I have pre-booked all the accommodation (private albergues and hotels), so we know exactly where we are staying every night.
I looked at the Jacotrans website, but it is not user-friendly.

Hi, I was looking to have my bags transferred from stop to stop on the Camino Frances but its looking too costly, I was up to 90 Euro and that was only up to 10 days into my walk, Najera!!!... Re-thinking my plans, I'll maybe carry a light-ish back pack and survive on less gear.
Post Camino, I am continuing my holiday travels onto Portugal (trains not walking!!) I want to pack another small suit case and send this one from SJPdP to Santiago de Compostela. Has anyone done this, who with, and if so, what did it cost??

I have used Jactotrans, Correos and Camino Facil. In September of 2016, I prebooked with Camino Facil from Astorga to SDC. Their performance was perfect, bags picked up promptly each day, delivered perfectly by the late morning to our next stop. I printed out their transfer tickets after I booked, and tied one on to each backpack the morning before I left. I can't speak more highly of their service.
No, it's not necessary to pre-book all your accommodations in order to use a transport service. I believe that you just need to decide the night before where you will stay the next day. Maybe even in the morning before you leave. I'm not positive, because I didn't use a service, but know people that did, and they didn't have everything lined up ahead of time.StFina!
This sounds wonderful. I am really hoping to use a transport system as well for my backpack. My concern is trying to figure out all 33 of my alberques ahead of time. (going per the Brierly route) I'm assuming that this is something that needs to be done with advance notice if choosing to use a service.... no?
I leave on Camino May 13.
Thank you!

No, there is nothing else like Corazon Puro, where I stayed last year. I plan on using this taxi service to St Jean from the Pamplona train station. It's spendy, but they say that if you want, they will match you up with other pilgrims to share the cost.Thank you, St Fina! This is good to know!
A follow up question. I was hoping to use the Curo Purizon option for my shuttle & lodging for the first night going into SJPD. But have since come to the understanding that due to a family emergency this is no longer an option. Does anybody else have an option/similar service that I may want to consider as to help make my transition into SJDP as seamless/effortless as possible? Thank you in advance!
Express Bourricot (http://www.expressbourricot.com/luggage-transport/) have a service to send a bag from SJPdP to Santiago and store it for your arrivalI want to pack another small suit case and send this one from SJPdP to Santiago de Compostela.

Jill,
For more in English on sending your luggage and/or backpack from within Spain at a reasonable cost to SdC see Luggage Transfer in this Spanish Post Office/Correos web.
Late October 2015 after falling I used the Correos transport for my pack from Najera to Santo Domingo de La Calzada. The cost was 4 euros and the service was great. You can book via your smartphone/ text message. Too bad that they could not carry me along with the pack!
Good luck and Buen camino!
Assuming you will walkon CF....
USE CORREOS!
Hi All, we used Camino Facil last year and they were brilliant but they are not covering the route we are walking in May. I contacted the postal service and Jacotrans but neither of them are covering our route!
Would anyone know who might cover Bilabo - Castro urdiales - Laredo - Santander?
Many thanks x
Hi Jill, we used http://www.correos.es/. The cost for five days was €20.00 per person, we booked in advance and it worked like clockwork, each day you mark your next destination on the envelope provided, I also made out luggage labels for our destinations as add precaution. Each time we arrived our bags were at our destination before we were. Would recommend CorreosYeah, this is really me posting this.

Realize that someone posted a comment before me this morning so that is how it got into “what’s new”....
