100k Camino over one week

[Ashley Moran Nunn]

Hi All,
I would like to walk the final 100k of the Camino this coming October.
I can fly Ryanair to either Biarritz, Santander or possibly Madrid. I’ve been searching for hours for some sort of reasonable way to get to a starting point like Sarria from any of these airports but I’m just hitting a wall every time. I’m almost to the point where I’d consider a tour company but not quite.
What I’d love to do is find a simple way to join the last 100km of the way - any of them! and just have a simple map and walk.
Can anyone help?

Most people flying into Spain to walk from Sarria seem to fly to Santiago then travel to Sarria by bus - from Santiago to Lugo then changing there for Sarria. If you fly into Madrid it is possible to take a train to Sarria. You can search for trains on renfe.com. To walk the Camino Ingles fly to A Coruna or Santiago then catch a bus to Ferrol. Or you could walk the Sanabres from Ourense by flying to Santiago or Madrid and taking a train to Ourense. Or the last 100km of the Primitivo from Lugo. Lots of options

Welcome Ashley,

Where are you arriving from? If possible it's probably best to fly into Santiago De Compostela itself and then catch a bus out to Sarria options here . If you're unable to fly into Santiago the Rome2Rio site should still help you to plan, flights from Madrid to Santiago are direct and not insanely expensive.

As for a map, apart from curiousity there is no need, it's hard to get lost.

Buen Camino,

Rob.

Whete you flying from? Santiago airport and bus to Sarria from airport via Lugo or Vigo and walk from portugese border via Tui.

Not sure where you’re flying from but I did Sarria to Santiago last week. Flew EasyJet from London Gatwick to Santiago and then took bus to Lugo and from there to Sarria.

You might consider the Camino Portugues. Fly to Porto, Portugal and take the train to Valenca which is at the border. Across the border is Tui Spain. Both place are wonderful and from there you walk north to SdC. Check out the website Rome to Rio for train times.
