Santiago (city) to Sarria bus options

Hi there...we (couple) are walking the final section of the Camino Frances from Sarria to Santiago de Compostela over 5 days this coming Easter. We arrive into Santiago airport on a Wednesday morning and need to get to Sarria that same day/evening. However, we firstly need to go into Santiago city centre to drop off some luggage at a hotel we plan to stay at when we finish the walk (we are staying in Santiago for a few days after the walk). What are the best bus options from Santiago city center to Sarria? I've found many posts with bus schedules from Santiago airport to Sarria (via Lugo) but not so much from the city center....I think there may be one at 6pm each day? This would be fine but is this the only option? Also, will it be possible for us to get our Camino 'passports' (credencial) in Sanitago the day we arrive before getting the bus to Sarria? Many thanks in advance!
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
There is a shuttle bus from the airport to Santiago. It goes to the bus station and some places downtown.

Hi Dermot

Did something similar last year, Aer Lingus into Santiago, landed about 3.30 pm, got bus from airport into Santiago bus station then taxi to hotel, dropped off suitcase, got taxi back to bus station, got bus then about 5.30 pm to Lugo and stayed overnight there in prebooked hotel 5 minutes from bus station. Got bus from Lugo at about 8 am next morning and was in Sarria in about 30 minutes, 5 minutes walk from bus station to the Camino and away we went.

You can get a credential in advance from your home society of Saint James, our irish one cost €10 but saved us having to hunt one in Sarria.

PM me if you want details of hotel in Lugo etc.

Buen Camino
