Start with rome2rio and that will link you to the operator's website. As @Tincatinker says, Monbus is the bus company.Can’t get much info online!
The Xunta portal at www.bus.gal might be useful if you are confident you can do some simple translation from Spanish or Galician. The link will bring up a search form. Change the language to Castellano and fill in the Origen, Destino and Fecha fields, then click on Buscar. Note that the Fecha box won't work if you use your browser to translate the page.Hello all, we’ve just finished the Camino Frances (from Sarria) but before we head home we’d love to visit Finnisterre. Are there buses from either A Coruna or Santiago? Going to be in both places so either suit. Can’t get much info online! Thanks
I'm reading this and had the same question. Do you need to book ahead for the bus or are there always plenty of seats?The Xunta portal at www.bus.gal might be useful if you are confident you can do some simple translation from Spanish or Galician.

Those two questions have no clear yes/no answers. I think Monbus supports bookings on their site, but some other companies do not. I found that if there is a ticket office, turning up a little early on the day and purchasing a ticket there makes sure you have a seat. Otherwise you need to purchase the ticket on the bus, when there is always a small risk that the bus will be full. I didn't do enough bus travel to work out whether there were times this was more likely to happen, so I'm not in a position to suggest when might be the best times to avoid a full bus.I'm reading this and had the same question.

Ok, thank you! I did a search and read: "You can buy them in advance at the bus station or from the bus driver. There are no reserved seats, and the line to leave Fisterra can be long." I'm guessing there is no bus station at Muxia.Those two questions have no clear yes/no answers. I think Monbus supports bookings on their site, but some other companies do not.

Both Muxia and Fisterra have a bus stop, not a bus station.Ok, thank you! I did a search and read: "You can buy them in advance at the bus station or from the bus driver. There are no reserved seats, and the line to leave Fisterra can be long." I'm guessing there is no bus station at Muxia.
Oh, I see; thank you!Both Muxia and Fisterra have a bus stop, not a bus station.

Were you thinking of a Guided Tour… on a bus… or just doing by Public bus? I wasn’t sure how I was reading the question— you’ve probably come and gone already— Buen caminoHello all, we’ve just finished the Camino Frances (from Sarria) but before we head home we’d love to visit Finnisterre.

May I ask how long it was to go from Santiago to Finesterre, Muxia and back to Santiago?Just over a week ago I caught the Monbus from Santiago to Finesterre. I was early and bought a ticket at the bus station. As it turned out the bus was not full. I also caught the bus from Muxia to Santiago. I bought the ticket from the driver. Again the bus was not full.
You need to get a better range of informants! It's right on the southern edge of the city, and around 1 km walk from the Praza do Obradoiro.When everyone is saying “Bus Station”… they really mean the “big new bus/train — intermodal- station-?”… I’ve read it’s about 7kms to the center of SDC?
Google Maps says that it's 1.7 km from Praza do Obradoiro.You need to get a better range of informants! It's right on the southern edge of the city, and around 1 km walk from the Praza do Obradoiro.
Gotcha… it’s 1.7kms… that’s why I was thinking 7kms
OOhhh: Many more departures now than earlier years! I've taken the bus 2 times: A 3 hour nice ride. Both times I just showed up at the bus station without reservation. Was all OK. From Finisterre, you just line up at the bus stop (no station). The bus stop was, at least in in my time, in the centre (which is very small), besides the communal albergue.
