There isn't any airport in Sarria ;-) For various travel options try http://www.rome2rio.com
Another option would be the Camino Ingles, there is a good up to date guide in the resources section of this forum here about it.
Buen Camino, SY
If you are taking the few days it takes to get to finisterre maybe consider adding those days to teh front of your route and startng before Sarria. The landscapes are beautiful and once you are in Sarria it really starts to get crowded. Then you could take a bus to Finisterre to see it and the ocean.
Just an option.
Buen Camino,
Dean
I don't see any airport in Sarria, Which is the best / fast way to get to Sarria? to start walking as soon as possible.
Which is the best / fast way to get back to madrid from santiago
Any suggestion with a different route with a least 100km in order to get the compostela?

Rafael, this doesn't answer your question but I have to put in my 2 cents.Hi,
Im planning to walk the camino on Jul 2017, from Sarria to Santiago (and if possible Santiago - Fenisterre), and i have some questions about it.
As I'll arrive to Madrid,
- I don't see any airport in Sarria, Which is the best / fast way to get to Sarria? to start walking as soon as possible.
- Should i flight from Madrid to Santiago and take a bus back to Sarria? or is there any other option?
- Which is the best / fast way to get back to madrid from santiago / fenisterre?
Any suggestion with a different route with a least 100km in order to get the compostela?
thanks
Rafael
Rafael, this doesn't answer your question but I have to put in my 2 cents.
I started my Camino on 23 May and today I am in Palas de Rei, passing through Sarria 2 days ago.
I have loved my Camino, until Sarria.
I am now depressed and miserable, and for the first time, want my Camino to be over. It's crowded beyond belief. Not just crowded but mobbed by the rudest young people I've ever seen. They lock arms, 6 abreast, and won't let you pass. They sing rude, crude music, at the top of their lungs. This morning in Portomarin about 300 kids started at one time, yelling through the town.
I was prepared for a vast increase in tourists. I wasn't prepared for the kids, DOZENS of them to barge in during Mass and ask in loud voices to the congregation where the sellos where kept. DURING the mass!
I wasn't prepared for watching the kids graffiti the churches and markers and sides of houses...while we watched! We tell them to stop and they respond (in Spanish) to "f!#$ off. "
No more friendly "Buen Caminos" anymore. If you exchange a BC to the mob, they laugh at you.
I am only three days from entering Santiago and for the first time, I want to quit.
I cannot imagine anymore why anyone would want to start their Camino in Sarria. This is a most depressing experience.
Good luck in your planning but I'd suggest any other stage.
A sad pilgrim,
Jennifer
I already have my airfare for September to walk from Sarria to SDC! Should I cancel and stay home?
If you are worried about crowds between Sarria and Santiago, you can always walk 100 kms on another route heading to Santiago. You could walk, for example, the Camino Inglés out of Ferrol, or the Camino Sanabrés out of Ourense...
I intend to walk and enjoy the journey moment by moment with no expectations
