The Camino de Santiago is a transformative experience that attracts thousands of pilgrims each year, who look forward to enjoying the journey with as few worries as possible.
However, the physical burden of carrying luggage is often one of the main concerns before embarking on this spiritual and cultural adventure.
This is where luggage transport services between stages of the Camino de Santiago come in, especially those offered by specialized agencies like Rutas Meigas. These services help lighten your load, allowing you to focus on what truly matters.
Travel light: the freedom of modern pilgrims
Pilgrims today have adapted to modern times, and walking the Camino doesn’t have to mean repeating the grueling experiences of the 9th century. This doesn’t diminish the spirit of 21st-century pilgrims compared to those of the past. Human progress is, or at least should be, about making life easier for people.
The main advantage of choosing luggage transport on the Camino de Santiago is convenience. Imagine walking miles through diverse landscapes that you’re eager to enjoy—without the added weight on your back. This service allows you to enjoy the route, walk at your own pace, take in the surroundings, chat with other pilgrims, or reflect on the experience without the worry and physical strain of carrying your gear.
Moreover, it significantly reduces the risk of injury and fatigue, making it ideal for pilgrims of all ages and fitness levels.
Let’s face it, with the sedentary lifestyles many of us lead, our backs aren’t always up for a heavy load, and muscle strain is all too common. Carrying too much weight for long periods can even lead to back injuries.

Safe transport for your luggage on the Camino
One of the most common concerns among pilgrims is the safety of their luggage. But today, backpack and luggage transport services on the Camino de Santiago are well-organized, with logistics that greatly simplify life for pilgrims.
Once you decide to book your Camino de Santiago with Rutas Meigas, the process is straightforward.
What should I do with my luggage?
- Tag your luggage: before setting out on your walk, tag your luggage with the Rutas Meigas labels we’ll send to your first accommodation, along with the rest of your Camino de Santiago documentation (such as your pilgrim credential).
Remember, your Camino de Santiago reservation includes one piece of luggage per person, with a maximum weight of 20 kilos, with nothing attached, hung, or added. If you need to transport more than one piece, you’ll need to book it separately.
- Leave your luggage: after tagging your luggage, leave it at the reception of your accommodation before 8:00 a.m.
- Wait for your luggage: depending on how quickly you walk, your luggage will usually be waiting for you at your next accommodation when you finish the stage.

The Camino de Santiago is more than just a route; it’s an opportunity to connect with yourself and with the history of millions of pilgrims who have walked these paths over the centuries, from Alfonso II El Casto on his first Camino Primitivo to the present day.
By freeing yourself from the physical weight of your luggage, you can more easily open yourself to the spiritual and cultural experiences that the Camino offers.
