Latest bus from Airport in Santiago to Sarria

[Determined lass]

Hi everyone!

My friend is starring her Camino from Sarria tomorrow. Her walking companion had an accident today and can no longer go.

Her flight arrives at 21.05 - she wants to start walking on Tuesday, as she flies home again on Saturday. I cannot seem to find a bus that leaves the airport late on Monday evening.

Alternatively - is there anyone she can share a taxi with? Thanks!

The last bus to Lugo is 2000, so there is nothing after 2105.

Yes, as falcon says, the last bus to Lugo is 8pm. The only option is a taxi, otherwise she could find a cheap hotel near the airport and catch the bus to Lugo at 7am. Once in Lugo, she would have to catch another bus or train to Sarria (it's only half an hour away).

No other options, I'm afraid. There is only one bus from that goes SDC to Sarria at 3pm in the afternoon (with the company Monbus), and there are also two afternoon trains, which won't help your friend much. One small thing: when I was checking transport options, it seemed quite a lot was already fully booked. So again, taxi might be the best option, although it will probably be expensive for a 100km+ journey at that time of night.

Thank you. I appreciate the replies. I did think there were no buses that late at night, but it was still worth a try. I also think that a taxi would be the best option. Hopefully there might be someone who can share a taxi from the airport. Worse case scenario it will be a taxi for one now!

There's a taxi sharing thread on this forum, might be worth a try: https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/forums/taxi-sharing.121/
And maybe check blablacar (the ride sharing site)?
p.s. you're a good friend!

Awh - thank you! She met a group on the plane and shared a taxi with them - expensive inconvenience averted!
