Correos makes its backpack available to pilgrims, so they can walk the Camino de Santiago without carrying luggage. These backpacks and luggage transport services for pilgrims from one accommodation to another are available starting today, April 1, on the French road as it passes through Rioja.
Pilgrims can hire luggage transfer services not only on the French route, from Roncesvalles and Somport, but also on the Portuguese route from Tui, and even on the spiritual route in the north of Ponferrada and on the way to Fisterra and Muxía.
The operation of the PAQ backpack is very simple. The postman comes from 8:00 in the morning to collect luggage at the specified accommodation in the reservation and delivers it to the next accommodation before 2:30 p.m. The PAQ backpack can be booked on the website www.elcaminocorreos.com through a simple form available in nine languages.
Correos also offers pilgrims other specific services to meet their transportation needs, such as PEQ Pilgrim, to send suitcases and packages to any point on the road to Santiago. This service can be booked online and allows you to choose collection at your own home or at the accommodation on the road.
For those who decide to do the route by bike, Correos has a Bike PAQ, a bike shipping service to the start of the route or back to the end of the road.
Upon arrival in Santiago de Compostela, pilgrims can also benefit from the slogan service that Correos offers at the office on Rúa do Franco, 4, just two minutes from Plaza del Obodoiro. This service is available every day, from Monday to Sunday, from 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. and can be booked on the website www.elcaminocorreos.com.
Correos also provides a point of service at the Pilgrim office on Rúa Carretas, open from Monday to Friday, between 10:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m.
All information about these and other postal services for the Santiago Road is available on the website www.elcaminocorreos.com, where pilgrims can also find accommodation options in a search engine with over 4,000 lodging spaces, descriptions of the most popular Jacobean routes, and over 300 tips on what to see and do on the journey.
