7 STEPS TO TRANSPORTING LUGGAGE ON THE CAMINO DE SANTIAGO

One of the most frequently asked about topics in the Camino Facebook groups and on the online forums is the luggage transport services on the Camino. You have probably heard pieces of information on this topic but I bet you've been left with some questions. In this two-part episode, we are going to cover this topic from end to end.

You might have some questions like: 

  • How does it work?
  • What can I send with the transport services?
  • Is it safe?
  • What company should I use?
  • Do I have to book in advance or can I just wing it?
  • Is it easy to set up or is it complicated?
  • I don't speak Spanish so how's that going to work?
  • What if I have things I won’t need while walking?

Here is the whole story, broken down into seven easy to manage steps. It is so much information that breaking it into two smaller episodes seemed to make sense. Part One has steps 1 & 2, and Part Two has steps 3 through 7.

UPDATE: There is a new company serving Refuge Orisson starting in April 2024. Orisson will accept transported bags only from this company: Donkey Service
