bus from Muxia to Santiago

[Jenine]

Hello peregrinos,

I have found in my search that there is a weekday bus at 0645 from Muxia to Santiago. What I still cannot figure out is where do I catch the bus in Muxia? I know it is Group Ferrin with no website.... trying to figure out how much time to allow.. I have a plane to catch and cannot miss the morning departure....Please help?

Thanks!!!
Buen Camino!
Jenine

It is well-marked. There is a bar in front of the bus stop, the bus stop says "Bus", and the latest schedules are post in the window of the bar.

Middle of town with other pilgrims everywhere all having coffee

But make sure not to be late,,,
When we caught it (about 18 mth ago), the bus arrived to the stop about 0640, and had already left by about 0643 - you snooze, you lose...

Do you know if this bus goes to Santiago airport or just to town?

Just the bus station, but the bus to the airport is only one or two bus bays away.

Thank you, you have been quite helpful

Just wondering how to pre-purchase tickets for this bus, or do you just buy them on the day? I have tried finding where to buy tickets on the Group Ferrin website but to no avail.

You can buy the ticket on the bus, everybody buys it there. This is a "local" bus, it stops in every village.

I always get on not far from the municipal albergue near the harbour.

Hi,

the main bus stop in Muxía is close to the harbour, in front of the café-bar "noche y día". Another bus stop is where the road coming down from the public albergue hits the main road. But the bus in the morning is rather full. So I recommend you go to the main bus stop where the bus starts. The ticket can be purchased on the bus, it is 8 € one way. The back-pack has to be stored in the luggage compartment under the bus. The bus goes to Santiago Central Bus Station where you can catch a bus to the airport. The other (first) bus-stop in Santiago is at the railway station.

does anyone know how long the ride takes please?

 

[Csutak]

I don't remember exactly, but probably 1,5 hours or a bit more.

Hey, this is great info. So, because of slight time constraints, I plan on walking the French way and then renting a bike from Santiago --> Finisterre --> Muxia and then hopping on a bus --> Santiago. Does anyone know if these buses can accommodate a bike or has anyone done something similar?

does anyone know how long the ride takes please?

does it matter?

Check this thread below, Jenine. I decided that a taxi will be the best option for me and maybe if you find others to share with it will be just as affordable as the bus for you. It will actually be a minivan because we are 4 people so maybe you can ask about transporting the bike, @frogger

Does anyone know if the bus from Muxia goes on April 19th?
I think I saw somewhere there are no buses from Fisterra and Muxia on April 18th and 19th but can't find that information anymore.

 

[Via2010]

Normally the buses also run on saturdays and festive days (19th of April = God Friday).

Here is the schedule: horarios Santiago-Muxia

When I was going to Santiago in the Easter Holidays 2012 there was a public strike. When this occurs there are no buses and it is also difficult to find a taxi. So if you find Information on that you should prebook a taxi from Muxía to Santiago Airport (it costs about 60 €).

Live update: Cafe Bar Noche y Dia may be closed now (not just at this hour...).

The bus stop from Muxía to Santiago is between D’Alvaro restaurant and Es Baleas (pizza, pasta, bar - and jolly good).
