    Sarria to Santiago an honest account from a first time pilgrim

    We'll be arriving in Santiago and were planning to take a bus to Sarria. Have heard that there were more bus options from airport vs. Santiago bus station and that's what we're trying to figure out. We'll be in Santiago center

    Sarria to Santiago an honest account from a first time pilgrim

    Thank Thank you for sharing! I start on 10/2 on my first Camino and also from Sarria as that I am also time constrained. Your post was very reassuring. A logistics question for you, how did you get to Sarria?

    Bus from Santiago to Sarria

    Hello! We plan on making our way from Santiago to Sarria to begin our pilgrimage on 10/2. We understand we need to go from Santiago to Lugo and then transfer to Sarria. Question: should we go to the airport or the bus station in Santiago to get the bus? Thank you!
