Help! How to get to Sarría from Santiago de C.?

[Megan]

I'm studying in Granada, and I'm meeting up with my mother to do the Camino starting in Sarría, but I only have the day to get there.

Through a combination of planes and buses I found a way to get to Santiago de C., but I won't arrive there until Saturday evening.

How do I get to Sarria from here? I looked into buses, but I think they stop running by the time I get there. About how much do you think a taxi would cost?

Thanks

It is about 129 kilometers, so expect a normal price of about 100E. Rates are higher on Sundays and holidays, though.

The last bus to Sarria leaves Santiago around 1840.

Check out monbus for info.

A taxi from the Santiago Bus Station to Sarria costs €140 (this was the price on 17/09/2013).
I know of some people that haggled hard, and got the price down to €120.

You could try getting to Lugo by bus on your first night, and then get the first bus to Sarria from Lugo the next morning - 30 mins from Lugo to Sarria
