I'm arriving into Santiago tomorrow evening, Sept 4th at 7:15pm. Hopefully I can travel directly to Sarria after I land, so I can start walking on Saturday morning. What affordable options would people recommend for travelling?
Thanks,
Tom

In case anyone is replying I've worked out a way.

Might help someone else in the future:
Taxi from Santiago Aeropuerto to Estaction de Autbous =15mins
Bus with Empress Freire to Lugo http://www.empresafreire.com/html/ingles/seccion3a.php
Then bus with Monbus from Lugo to Sarria http://www.monbus.es/es/#seleccion
Walk to the Alberque
I'm feeling a bit excited now.
Buen Camino.
Tom

The Empresa Freire bus to Lugo picks up at Santiago (Labacolla) Airport. The last one leaves 2010 ... making your 1915 timings tight. The bus arrives Lugo 2155.

The last Empresa Monforte (Monbus) bus leaves Lugo for Sarria at 2200. The connection is quite tight. I don't know if this bus waits for the Empresa Feire bus.

Thanks for the reply Whari, yeah it's going to be a tight schedule. I'll just hope for the best.
I visited BC a few years ago, nice part of the world

Just to say that this worked out really well. Managed to even get a sandwich in the bus-station in Lugo. The only issue was that when I arrived to Sarria it was about 10:40pm and I couldn't get a taxi. So I had to walk to my hostel, I'd printed out the walking route and had it with me, but walking around a strange town at night might not be for everyone.
