Please can you advise how i am able to organise in advance either private or public transport to Sarria on 7 May 2013 when i arrive from the UK (i have 2 options to arrive: one at 13:00 or alternatively at 17:00) - i understand it is around 120 km away?
kind regards

Rupert,

Check out this Forum thread with various options on how to get to Sarria. It seems that one way to go is by bus from Santiago to Lugo and then another bus to Sarria. >> traveling-to-from-the-camino/topic6288.html.

Good luck and Buen Camino,

Hi Rupert...we did this just a few weeks ago....there is 1 direct bus at 6pm each day from Santiago bus station to Sarria - takes 2.5 hours. However, the option we took was to take a bus to Lugo and then change for a bus to Sarria....journey time was in around the same (1.5hours Santiago to Lugo, 0.5hours wait and 0.5hours Lugo to Sarria) and there were several buses to Lugo.

Use this website for Santiago to Sarria (direct) and Lugo to Sarria.

Use this for Santiago to Lugo:

If you are going directly to Sarria from Santiago airport I believe this is possible but we went from the city centre itself.

Enjoy!

LAST YEAR I USED THE 16:10 IN SANTIAGO AIRPORT AND ARRIVED LUGO AROUND 18:00
GOT THE 18:35 TO SARRIA AND ARRIVED WITH ENOUGH TIME TO WALK TO THE CATHEDRAL AND GOT MY PASSPORT AFTER MASS.
