What alternatives to Correos for baggage transfer on the Inglés?

Time of past OR future Camino
Next Camino: Inglés June 2023
Hi there! My wife and I are walking the Inglés in early June and were hoping to use the Correos luggage transfer service.

However, one of the albergues we hoped to stay at (Albergues San Lorenzo, Bruma) doesn't work with the Correos service. Has anyone recommendations for alternative baggage transfer services? I've emailed the albergue to see who they recommend, but would be grateful to hear from anyone with recent first hand experience along the Inglés.

I've looked for other accommodation around Bruma but struggling, and if anybody knows of any gems perhaps not on booking.com or in the guide books, that would be an amazing help. Our schedule doesn't really support us staying many kms before or after Bruma, so we're a bit tied here.

Many thanks in advance, Pete.
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

Not a hidden gem, but I stayed at Hotel Canaima. They picked me up from Casa Avelina after I had lunch. Clean room with a restaurant and bar downstairs.
I did have to walk back (30 min) to Casa Avelina in the morning to pick up where I left off. There is also an option to join back on the Camino a bit closer to the Hotel.

Yes, I tried Hotel Canaima but they are fully booked… The Inglés is looking busy in June! In the end, I spoke to Albergue San Lorenzo de Bruma and they recommended TaxiCaminoInglés who responded quickly to my query 👍, and only €5 a day luggage transfer.

Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
