Best way to get from O Cebreiro to Sarria?

[dmlooney]

I am walking from Leon to Santiago in May (2022) but do to time constraints have to bus or taxi from O'Cebreiro to Sarria. Rome2Rio indicates a 15:15 bus but when I expand on the page it is not listed for the date I need (May 13). Any recommendations on getting from O'Cebreiro to Sarria? I see there are some threads about this subject but all are a few years old... not sure how to link my question to another thread...

I have just taken two screenshots from Rome2Rio website. They give details of 2 companies that cover your needs. I am sorry I do not have time at the moment to do more. My experience is with Monbus from Santiago to Ferrol. I think we paid on the bus. It is considered short-haul, and many of those services are like that. You could email them, or phone if you have such an allowance on your phone account, and can handle a Spanish conversation. I hope this helps you a bit. It would surprise me very much that there would not be a bus service...

I could definitely think of two other walking days I would give up. I think the walk from O'Cebreiro to Sarria is beautiful. Some other suggestions for saving two walking days:
1) The walk out of Leon through the industrial is one of my least favorite. You could start in La Virgen del Camino (easy bus from central Leon) this saves 1/2 day.
2) Later cab from Molineseca to Ponferrada, visit the castle and then bus or cab to Cacabelos. If this isn't enough you could go on to Villafranca del Bierzo. If you were walking in the fall, I wouldn't want you to miss the walk through the vineyards before Villafranca, but they will be sticks in May.

Correct, the only thing to add which might help is that it is all downhill from O Cebreiro and you could walk on the road or there is a slightly shorter track. You can also taxi down the hill.

the bus pulls in right across front the Xunta in O'Cebreiro ( municipal albergue) on the road side. All the bus times are posted on the 'notice board' in the lobby; last time I used it it was only a couple of 'euros' to Sarria. I once made the mistake of walking downhill to Pedrafita (4k ) only to discover that the bus pulled right up outside the Xunta. One of the most beautiful parts of the Camino Frances. Check out the church in O'Cebreiro; beautifully atmospheric; ancient and red candles every where; I went to mass there one evening in January and the power went out; the light from the burning red candles flickering and shadowing the stone walls was enchanting! buen camino Brendano.

5 days walk or an hour and a half in a Taxi, cost about €150.

I commend https://www.gronze.com/etapa/ponferrada/villafranca-bierzo as a resource to help you orient yourself on the camino. Cacabelos has plenty of hotels to choose from
