Sarria to santiago public transport (going the wrong WAY !)

[Marshe]

Hi. Looking for advice re transport from Sarria to Santiago. We intend walking from leon to Sarria on this leg of the Camino. We will finish in Sarria on July 1st and need to get to Santiago airport for the Aer Lingus flight on Saturday 2nd (17.00).
Google searches have shown a service at 5.56 am to La Coruna and then back to Santiago.
Anyone know of a better option?
There are 3 of us so a taxi might be an option albeit expensive.

The above Monbus information is correct. I used it in April, when I had to terminate my last Camino at Sarria and take the bus into Santiago. There are frequent buses from Sarria to Lugo, and several each day from Lugo to Santiago.

I have not had much luck with the Monbus.es web site on mobile devices when I was in Spain. But at home, on my Macbook, it is fine. There is an English language option in the upper right hand corner. Click and hold on the Spanish flag and select English.

Also, schedules are available at most Sarria hotels and albergues, and posted in the Sarria bus station. You may have to cobble together a trip, first from Sarria to Lugo, then find a conveniently-timed connection from Lugo to Santiago.

I hope this helps.
