There is a whole forum on traveling to and from the Camino.
It can be found at traveling-to-from-the-camino/

If that link doesn't work, just go to the Home Page of the Forum, and scroll down to Pilgrim Issues on all Caminos. You will find "Traveling to from the camino" there.
 
If you are flying in, there are regular buses from the Santiago airport to Lugo, and regular buses from Lugo to Sarria. Check the Monbus website for exact times.

From the SCQ airport, or from the bus station in Santiago, you can take a FREIRE bus from Santiago to Lugo: http://www.empresafreire.com/html/caste ... cion3a.php

Then, in Lugo, you need to catch a MONBUS to get to Sarria:
http://horarios.monbus.es/

Do you have a working knowledge of Spanish? If not, here's how to navigate these 2 websites.

On the FREIRE website, under "Seleccionar Origen," choose either "Aeropuerto de Labacolla (SCQ)" if you'll be going from the airport, or "Santiago (Est. Autobuses)" if you'll be going from the main bus station.

Then under "Seleccionar Destino" choose "Lugo (Est. Autobuses)". Choose your date and you'll see a list of times and days for this route. Note that some of these buses are actually express and take 1.5 hours, versus some that take over 2 hours to get to Lugo.

On the MONBUS site, enter in "Lugo" in the "Desde" window, and choose the 2nd option that pops up ("Lugo EEAA")

Then enter "Sarria" in the box labeled "A".

Choose "Ida" (one-way ticket), choose your date from the calendar, and it will give you a list of times for the route Lugo --> Sarria.

Buen Camino!!
 
In Santiago, when we caught the bus to Lugo, the fast and slow buses left from adjacent bays both at 11.00 am. I don't know if this is the case at other times of the day. Fellow passengers looked at our tickets while we were waiting and and pointed us to the correct bus.
 
My mother and I are wanting to take a cab or hire a driver from Santiago to Sarria. Any recommendations?
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
By all means call for a quote, but rising gas prices have pushed rates up to about 2€ per kilometer, more on Sunday and a holiday, and a lot more if the driver does not expect a return fare. Do not be surprised if the rate is over 200€.
 
I agree, falcon - to get from the Santiago airport to our apartment only 10 km away, we have to pay 20€ for a taxi. I think there may be some high airport fees included in that fare, but still!! :)
