Hello. My teenage daughter and I are walking the Camino from Leon in July. She really wants to make it to the coast, but our return flights mean we'll have to give up a day or two of walking. So to make this work, I would like to take a bus so we'll only have a one or two day walk to Finisterre and then we'll walk on to Muxia for the last two nights. Any suggested bus routes? Or any other ideas I haven't though about? thanks

You could take the bus from Santiago to Cee ( details here A compendium of useful links for travel in Galicia including Santiago, Sarria, and Fisterra. You'll at least get to walk the beach into Fisterra. The walk to Muxia is lovely.

Do you know if I can get a bus closer to Santiago that would just shave off one night? Also, I'm planning Finisterre and then Muxia. Any benefits to flipping this around? thanks for the links

Tincatinker's suggestion is a good one. However do be aware that by taking the bus to Cee you will miss the first magical view of the sea from the hills before Cee. Nor will you be allowed to stay in the Finisterre municipal albergue or obtain a walking certificate at Finisterre.

Perhaps bus to Negreira. Next day walk to Olveiroa and following day to Finisterre. See www.Gronze.com for places to stay.

That might work well for us. I don't want to bus at all, but my return ticket is just a day or two short.

Do you know if I can book tickets for this company online? I also see that they have service from Muxia back to Santiago.

I don't know. I can't find anything on the site to suggest that you can. Perhaps you might try contacting the company.

This is the only service provider I am aware of for Muxia to Santiago.

Whariwharangi I am, as always, impressed by your knowledge and enthusiasm.

Quinranda, there will be no need of advance booking on these buses unless you are trying to travel on a major public holiday or there is a local Fiesta. You will notice as you ride that the local service users just stand somewhere it is convenient for the bus to halt and stick up a hand to flag it down.

Buen camino
