FAQs about Sarria Tours

What is the best time of year to start the Sarria to Santiago pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago?

The optimal time to begin the Camino from Sarria is between May and September. These months offer mild weather and longer daylight, essential for walking the 115 km route. July and August can be crowded; May, June, and September provide fewer crowds and pleasant temperatures. Avoid November to February, as rainy and cold conditions make trails slippery and uncomfortable.

Which airport should I fly into before taking transit to Sarria for the Camino de Santiago?

Fly into Santiago de Compostela Airport (SCQ), the closest international airport, located about 100 km from Sarria. From SCQ, take a bus or taxi to Santiago’s train station, then board a bus to Sarria - the entire journey takes approximately 2.5 hours. Alternatively, fly into A Coruña (LCG) for fewer delays and connect via regional transport.

How do I get from Sarria to Santiago de Compostela without walking the Camino?

Regular ALSA buses run from Sarria to Santiago de Compostela, taking about 1.5 hours with multiple daily departures. Tickets can be purchased online or at the Sarria bus station. Alternatively, take a taxi for a faster, direct ride (around 1 hour), though at significantly higher cost. Pre-booking is recommended during peak Camino seasons.

Is Sarria a good starting point to qualify for the Compostela certificate on the Camino?

Yes, starting in Sarria allows walkers to cover the final 115 km to Santiago de Compostela, exceeding the required 100 km on foot for the Compostela certificate. Ensure your pilgrim passport is stamped daily at lodgings, cafés, or churches along the route. Request stamps early each day to avoid missing them due to early closures.
