Hi all,
Delighted to join the forum. We want to go from Santiago to Sarria early on a Saturday in October. We see the helpful comments here about the 11am bus. Can we get there earlier than this? Thank you

What date in October?
Well… good luck… I tried to research several options.. private town car €350
It’s quite far… like a 3 hour drive (I know ppl will tell me if I’m wrong there)
No other transportation options-but that 1X daily bus.
No trains..
I was exhausted looking at options.. but I’ll be following any suggestions here too..
I’m on that 11am bus… I’m just considering it’s a quick overview of where I’ll be hiking.

Thank you. Hopefully, someone else might have found a local bus and can let us know.

Rome2rio says it is a 2 hour 6 minute trip by bus, and 1 hour 33 minutes (128 km) drive by car.

“Quite literally… there are no other local buses”-
These are very small towns/villages that we are trying to get to…
I’m here for other creative options… fro
Experienced Walkers.
If you are looking for other transportation choice - take a look at RometoRio and Omni App. These Apps are consolidators that gather, train, bus and flight options.

Thank you..,
1 hour and 33 minutes if the OP @Lom is willing to Rent a Car.

That could “maybe be a choice..”/ but when I looked —I was looking hard -at all options.. the Blabla drivers don’t post their “work schedules/commitments “ out that far…
As we get closer —it might develop into an option… I’m clearly a Planner (hence 3 different raincoats /ponchos)
I’ll probably be on the 11am bus with everyone

Hello, which bus line is the 11am bus and is it direct to sarria please?

 

[SFHoneybee]

Yes-there is just one bus at 11am… it only runs once a day -just to clarify —it GOES to Sarria—but not direct (as in no stops in the middle)- there are about 12 little towns in the middle.

I just look $15. And 20 stops in the middle.
You can look it up if you want —“Rome2Rio App”

There are multiple opportunities to travel Santiago to Sarria with a change of buses in Lugo.

But the question that was asked “Which Bus leaves at 11am…”- I was trying to answer THAT Specific question-not confuse ppl.

The question asked was: "Can we get there earlier than this? Thank you".

Maybe you are reading another question— this current Poster that I was responding to was “Dawnie”- who only asked about “Which Bus-line is the 11am bus and is it direct” See #10 entry.
