Bus from Muxia to Santiago

[Joshgehl]

We are planning on ending our camino in Muxia in July. When we completed the same root there was an early morning bus from Muxia to Santiago. When I looked online Rome2rio said that there was only one bus for this route at 5 pm. Does anyone know if that is accurate?

According to Monbus (operating company) there are 3 of them today:

This is helpful... we were planning on taking a bus from muxia on a Sunday to catch a 5 pm flight... an 11 am bus might cut it close... any recommendations? Taxi?

There are more buses leaving from Finisterre than Muxia. Maybe walk Santiago to Muxia to Finisterre?

I would prefer to finish in Muxia myself though.

Edit: Sorry @Joshgehl, I missed that you are familiar with this. I'm not deleting my post though in case someone else visits this thread in the future.

On May 20, took the 6:30am bus. Note: Fortunately we were at the bus stop early because the bus left about 8 minutes early.

Your albergue will have a schedule and tell you the location of the bus.

There are several buses running from Muxía to Santiago, but I'd advise you to double- and triple-check the timetable on the bus company website (Monbus). When I needed to travel from Muxía to Santiago in January, the timetables at the bus stop and in the albergue said that the morning bus leaves at 6:30, but actually that day it was scheduled at 6:15 (the information was only available on the website), and I missed it.

But there is also a taxi service, and it's not terribly expensive, so you might want to consider this option. If you want to travel early in the morning, better arrange for a taxi to pick you up in advance, the day before.

Buen Camino!

hi we just returned from Fisterra to Santiago by using BlaBlaCar. You could check that app!

FYI to you and others, and my Finnisterre experience last month may also apply to Muxia. In Finnisterre I met 2 men who had reserved a taxi back to Santiago the following day. There would be 4 traveling back for about 60 euro, I think. Very low cost split 4 ways and phenomenal convenience to their albergue at time of their choosing. Next morning I took the 0800 bus to A Coruna. The bus to Santiago was full, and others were going to the window (lucky for them there was live body) to book on a second bus allegedly being arranged. Much confusion and disrupted plans for a lot of those folks. Last year in July it was me on that Santiago bus. Even with minimal pilgrims due to worldwide COVID restrictions, that bus was nearly full.
