I used the " petty bag" as far as Lezamo and the guy told me he wouldn't take it onto Bilbao - I didn't realize the "petit bag" was part of greencartransport ( which I'd completely forgotton about)
Sorry for being so stupid and having such a poor memory

Poor memory? Did I reply to this post?

Buen camino amigo

Thank you Anemone - no-one could help in this small place ( Pobena) but I'm o.k.now

The fun and challenges of the road less travelled...I hope you're enjoying your Camino so far, and that it's smooth sailing the rest of the way.

Thanks Smallest_Sparrow - just arrived in Castro Urdiales , soaking wet and 3.5 hours before albergue opens------- but there's nowhere else I'd rather be right now - this is it for the time being

Pretty walk though (she said wistfully, trying not to give in to envy)...when I think about the Norte, breathtaking and wet compete to come out of my mouth. Bed bugs have been reported in Comillas (you may have noticed), and personally I took the alternative coastal route between pendueles and llanes to check out the Bufones.
Ok, now envious. Really envious.
Buen Camino and stay warm and dry

Similar question.

Does anyone know if a luggage transfer company, for the Via de la Plata?

From Zamora to S de C?

The Correos don't operate on this section

When I walked it this spring, I only saw advertisement of more local transport offers, typically the next 2-3 stages. So yes, it might be possible, but you will need to be able to organize it yourself from time to time (f.e. with a taxi). Buen camino, SY

in case this is needed, I also found this company online...don't know how the prices compare, but it looks like they cover the norte (as well as many other routes)

Hi Nick
We used Tuitrans taxi transfer service who were very professional and reliable but expensive for the 120km. www.tuitrans.com. We found that in hindsight a lot of the hotels will transfer your luggage ahead for €5.00 each day?
