I am doing a very short Camino walk for about 2 1/2 days from Sarria to Lugo, then taking the bus to SdC next week. I’m wondering if it’s worth taking my hiking poles. My knees aren’t great, so if there are some steep up and down hills, I will, but won’t bother if not
Thanks!!
Hi GettingThere, I am planning on walking the Camino pathways. I'm taking the bus to Sarria to pick up the trail. I can do that, right? First afternoon, as soon as I arrive, I'm walking the Camino a short distance to Vilei. The 2nd day I am walking to Portomarin. 3rd day to Lugo, then bus to Santiago. I can walk the Camino pathways to do that, right?
Hi @thesmiths2 - I think you might have one or two of the town names confused. A lot of the towns in that area you will see with "(Lugo)" following them, because they are in Lugo province. Lugo town itself is different, and not really near Portomarin at all. Sarria to Vilei is the Camino Frances, and Vilei to Portomarin is Camino Frances, continuing along. From Portomarin you might go as far as Palas de Rei, or one of the in-between villages like Ligonde? Are any of those names on the map you're looking at?
Yes, makes sense. Casa Rectoral is in Lestedo, which is about 5 km before the town of Palas do Rei, which is in the province of Lugo (not to be confused with the city of Lugo). The village of Lestedo, where Casa Rectoral is, is in the municipality of Palas de Rei, but 5 km from the town of the same name. I assume that if you don't want to walk those 5 km the next day, the owners of the casa rural will take you in to where you will get the bus to Santiago.
Bus schedule for Empresa Freire, which has a well-run route from Lugo to Santiago, with stops at many towns in between: http://www.empresafreire.com/html/ingles/seccion3a.php
Hi - I am also going to Lugo, but from Portomarin, and yes, I know it's not part of the Camino, but I hear it's a beautiful city with lots of history. There are buses that will take you there from both Sarria and Portomarin. Here is the website and you can translate it to your language easily. Good luck and Buen Camino, do it your way.I am doing a very short Camino walk for about 2 1/2 days from Sarria to Lugo, then taking the bus to SdC next week.

Ok
Hi GettingThere, thank you so much for saying something. Yes, I was a bit confused! LOL! I just talked with my friend who walked the route last year (and stayed at several of the place I stayed at) and now I see that I'm nowhere near the town of Lugo, BUT the bus ticket I have goes through nearby towns, as you mentioned, so I can get on the bus then and head into Santiago.
I love this forum!!
You can get a bus in Palas de Rei, but not Lestedo. The bus stop is just across the street from the municipal albergue. You will find it by all the pilgrims waiting!Lestedo is a little village a bit before you get to the (small) town of Palas de Rei. you'll definitely be able to get a bus on to Santiago from there. You're absolutely on the Camino too!
