Less Crowded Routes to Santiago after Camino San Salvador

bonniegrace said:

I'm planning another camino for June 2023. I completed the Primitivo in 2021. This year I want to walk camino San Salvador. What would be the best route after this to get the 100k requirement to Santiago? Thinking transferring to Tui but it's a full day bus trip. I like less crowded routes.
TIA

Hi Bonniegrace. This past late September I walked the Salvador (spectacular and challenging). I then connected with a BlaBla car trip to meet a Forum friend for the first time in Leon ( to @rojasa). From Leon there is often an early bus to Vigo 6-7 am. If this early ALSA bus is not running you may take an early morning ALSA 6 am bus to Lugo arriving 9:50 and from there MONBUS 10 am to Vigo arriving 1 pm. From Vigo there are local buses to Tui.
I suggest you explore the ALSA and MONBUS sites to get updated information that frequently is unavailable until 6-8 weeks prior to travel.

Tui to Santiago is crowded compared to Salvador. I was worried there would be too many people. I found it very easy to walk alone and thoroughly enjoyed the other Peregrinos. Enjoy your pre-Camino planning and Buen Camino!
