Camino Fossil AD 1999, now living in Santiago de C
- Time of past OR future Camino
- First: Camino Francés 1999
...
Last: Santiago - Muxia 2019
Now: http://egeria.house/
Update/Current Situation:
13th July 2017
For the moment the buses are driving again, see http://www.lavozdegalicia.es/notici...ransporte-galicia/00031499888492949540671.htm as the strike has been temporarily suspended. This morning there was still some lack in sufficient buses, but now is all back to normal. But this is/could be only a temporary thing as the underlying conflict hasn't been resolved completely yet.

As @peregrina2000 has mentioned in another post, the strike has been extended, see http://www.eldiario.es/galicia/economia/huelga-autobuses-Galicia-extiende-semana_0_661783910.html
Summary: From Tuesday 11th July they will strike every day of the week until the conflict is resolved. There is a, very minimalist, skeleton service in place and taxis are also 'overworked'. So, you DO need to plan in plenty of travel time if you need to go, f.e., to the airport.
Buen Camino, SY

Please plan in a lot of time of traveling to the airport and/or to Finisterre/Muxia. Public transport (basically the buses) is/are on strike at the moment in Galicia, including Santiago.
If you understand Spanish (or use Google Translate) you can learn more here: http://www.20minutos.es/noticia/307...0-vuelve-dejar-sin-transporte-67-000-alumnos/
There are also reports/anecdotes/rumors that there have been heated arguments yesterday among people that fought for the last available space on a bus - people that were afraid to miss their planes.
Other rumors concern picketers (spelling?) trying to stop taxis on their way to the airport/Muxia/Finisterre.
So, in case that you are affected, just plan to walk ;-)
Buen Camino, SY
