What's the best way to get back to Santiago from Muxia? We arrive I. Muxia Sunday April 5 2015. I have seen there is a bus but with limited departure days/ times. We would like to fly to London on the Monday sometime?
Apologies for lack of detail.The only way to get back to Santiago from Muxia is the bus. Or an expensive taxi.
But how are you flying home? You don't tell us? Direct from Santiago (is that even possible?), via Madrid? Have you booked your flights? What is their schedule?
You can get to Muxia and say you have been there and get on the 1st bus back to Santiago ( but what a pity that would be as Muxia offers one of the best, if not THE best sunset this World has to offer, because of the rocks, the story of the Prestige, the damage to the church last year, and the opportunity to eat super fresh percebes - as ugly as they are good). You can also spend a night.
I'm afraid with the info you give, about wanting to go home the next day, but not saying how, you are back at doing the work yourself, looking a Vueling, Ryanair and al. schedules.
Grupo Ferrin provides bus service from Muxia to Santiago. At time of writing there are two buses per day. There are differences in departure times weekdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
Monbus (Empresa Monforte) operates buses from Muxia to Cee four? times daily. Monbus (Castromil) operates buses from Cee to Santiago several buses daily. The Monbus site will not provide an answer for Muxia to Santiago. The bus station in Cee is central downtown.
There are flights from Santiago to London. At time of writing there are Easy Jet flights to Gatwick and Ryan Air flights to Stansted. There used to be Air Iberia flights to Heathrow. I guess the flight schedules change with the seasons ... It takes at least 3 hours to get from either Gatwick or Stansted to Heathrow by National Express bus.
My experience is taking the bus from Fisterra at 0930 and arriving at Santiago train station around 1230. I caught a train to Madrid later that afternoon arriving at Madrid around 2100. An all day evolution. The next day I went from Madrid to London Gatwick and by bus to London Heathrow ... another all day evolution.

Has anyone taken a Taxi from Muxia to Santiago in 2018? What was the cost? Thank You.The taxi is 50€. In June 2014 I shared a taxi with three other pilgrims, 12.50€ each. It took only an hour to Santiago.
