Query re public transport from Santiago to Sarria

[WilliamD]

Hello I’d like to go from Santiago to Sarria by public transport on Saturday 7 October. Google maps only shows one option by Alsa bus to Lugo where you then take a train. The connecting times look very tight. Amy info welcome

It is too early for definitive October timetables to be published but at the moment you can make the journey on Sunday by direct bus from Santiago at 11am. Or by taking a bus to Lugo and changing there for another to Sarria. Probably a similar service in October. The bus company is Monbus: https://www.monbus.es/es

Thanks. I’ll keep an eye on the schedules

We did this last April by bus , I believe there is a direct bus everyday

You can also use https://www.bus.gal/, the Xunta public transportation site. Schedules are only available to the end of August, but there is a direct bus, albeit it makes many stops, from Santiago to Sarria daily. I would check back maybe six weeks out just to confirm times, etc.

There is the ONCE daily bus that leaves at 11am. Santiago Sarria.
I have found that most (bus/train)schedules altho not posted -say for example 6 months in advance— are very similar to their “current schedule”- Maybe try to “book/look” for the transportation you are interested in - using an “fake day in August.. but be sure to use the same actual day if the week.. Sat for Sat—not a Tuesday schedule for a Sat trip”-
Since there is just the Once daily bus from Santiago Sarria direct daily… if that bus doesn’t work in your trip.. you may need to stay overnight in Santiago then go to Sarria the next day…

Look at Rome2Rio App and Omni App for bus, trains and flights.

Please don't perpetuate this myth. There are multiple possibilities for travel to Sarria from Santiago if only the aspiring pilgrim can be bothered to change bus in Lugo or train in Ourense.

The information already provided in this thread should have made that clear.

Not in the opposite direction as you referenced.

@Tincatinker said "to Sarria from Santiago". Which means exactly the same as "from Santiago to Sarria".

The journey from Erehwon to Llareggub is no more of a challenge. The starting point is always wherever you are
