Looking for removals Galicia to Charente in France. Does anyone know of anybody who might do this? Alternatively, is anyone coming out whose carrier might be looking for a return load to reduce costs?

There used to be (it might still be there) an international removal firm in Vivieiro. Coming from Ortigueria you drive through Covas, take 2nd exit at roundabout which takes you over the estuary. It is either on the row of shops (right) just after the estuary or, taking the left turn as you enter Viveiro, it is located on the row of shops immediately on the right hand side.

Try looking at http://www.mudanzasalameda.com. There is also paginas amarillas.

Have you given up on Galicia!

Battle zone thanks for that

No not really given upon Galicia although we have to leave. We will miss Spain dreadfully. It is just that I have to travel back to the UK every month, and I was caught by the ash cloud each time. First time for a week, and cost me close to a thousand pounds. Second time for two days, but actually cost me nearly as much as EVERYONE in the UK banged their prices up straight-away.

You could do the removal yourself. There is GaliciaAutos which are based in offices attached to the Bus Station in Viveiro. I have seen large vans with their logo outside their offices (Luton(?) type) which you could hire. I am sure there is someone near to you who would be willing to earn a few euros and help you load, and then drive with you to France. Whoever it is can then return the van to Viveiro.
