    FAQs

    Is luggage transfer included? What are the luggage requirements?
    Absolutely! Each traveller has included 1 piece of luggage that we will transfer between your accommodations. It's important that this piece of luggage meets the following criterias:
    • Maximum weight of 45 lbs (20 kg).
    • Must be only 1 piece of luggage without any attachments or accessories.
    • Should not contain valuables, fragile items, food or medications.
    • Must be correctly identified (booking reference of your trip and the full name of the trip holder).
    The approximate luggage delivery time will be at 4:00 PM.
    How far in advance should I book my trip?
    We recommend that you book as soon as you are sure about your dates, as accommodation can fill up very quickly in this area.
    What should my physical preparation be?
    This route has a medium level of difficulty, with extensive walks over mostly flat terrain. If you are a frequent walker, accustomed to long walks, you will be prepared to enjoy this route. If you do not walk frequently, we recommend starting this activity on a recurring basis, at least one month before your trip, so you will have the necessary preparation for the days where the journeys are longer.
    What equipment do I need to bring?
    Once you make your reservation we will send you all the detailed information about the specific equipment you need for this route, considering recommendations for shoes, boots, clothes and a day-to day backpack.
    What if I'm not able to finish one of the stages?
    You can call us to arrange a private transfer for you. If you prefer, you can also use public transport or local taxis to get to your next accommodation.
    Can some of the longer stages of the itinerary be divided?
    Yes, below is a list of all the stages that we can divide, so that you do not have to walk so many daily kilometres:
    • O Porriño to Arcade (with overnight in Redondela).
    • Padrón to Santiago de Compostela (with overnight in Parada de Francos).
    There are some stages that cannot be divided as our quality department has determined that it is not recommended based on our standards. This is because luggage cannot be transported or there are no accommodations available. For the stages you find longer, you can take a taxi in the morning after breakfast, to drop you off at a point along the way where you can guarantee to finish the stage. This is the most popular option with walkers. You can also take a look at these other options of the Camino Portugues.
