Hi FaithHola a todos,
In July I'll walk from Ferrol to Santiago, Lord willing. For various reasons I'll walk from Pontedeume to Betanzos, stay the night, walk as far as I can the next day toward Hospital de Bruma, then go back to Betanzos to stay a second night. The following day I'd like to get transport back to where I left off, and then continue to Sigüeiro.
If you've already walked the stretch between Betanzos and Bruma, how accessible are buses from Betanzos to somewhere close to Bruma? Or do I need to budget and plan to take taxis those couple of days between my stopping point and Betanzos, and Betanzos back to the stopping point?
Thanks for any info you can give
Faith
Nope. No buses until the day into Santiago in my experience.how accessible are buses from Betanzos to somewhere close to Bruma (like, did you notice any buses going by as you walked?
Hi Faith, I have a recommendation for a nice taxi service from Betanzos. Don't have details to hand but will dig out as an option if bus does not work out.

I came across this document which shows some, but very limited, bus activity between Betanzos, Presedo and Carral. Carral would connect with the Coruna - Santiago bus that passed through Meson Do Vento. Doc dates from Feb 2016 so might be worth asking in the Galicia Tourist Office in Rua Vilar to see of they have more up to date info.Hi Faith, do you need to go back to Betanzos? Are you aware that Antonio at Meson Novo in Meson Do Vento will pick up before Meson and drop back the next day if you stay there. I'm afraid I don't know about the buses but will search around.
I have stayed there twice for just one night each trip. They may not require a two-night stay if you tell them you are a pilgrim. It is behind the post office, and just a little bit hard to find without Google maps!I am staying in Hotel Garelos and had to book a minimum of two nights.

Hi @natefaith
I'm taking my time in C.I. As it has been quite hot. Today was great.
I have not seen a bus in this route in 5 days though.
I passed the Bruma Albergue today. It looks fine too. Would you consider staying there.
I have been doing some pm'ing to @miguel_gp
And decided to stay 2 nights at
Meson Nova. Antonio (tony) has picked me up and dropped me back each morning .
Today he dropped me back to yesterday's finish at bar Julia and I walked thru and past Bruma.
A further 8 k to Buscas. This makes tomorrow more doable. Tony will drop me back to Buscas tomorrow morning.
He also can arrange a massage for sore bodies, legs etc
Plenty of choices to eat in this village also .
Ps. I hope to see you at your pilgrim house this weekend. I used the laundry service there last October. (You were not there then but the other ladies were very helpful and friendly.
