In looking at multi city flights for a trip next year, it seems that with very few exceptions departing out of Santiago adds significantly to the price. Can anyone suggest an airline that flies to Western Canada that also would include Santiago? I know there are cheap flight to Madrid, but...
Hi all,
Sorry if this has been covered before, but I can't find it 🤷🏻♀️
I will get to Santiago on Thursday, will pick up my luggage from the post office, and need to work out accommodation and transport, so I can catch a flight early on Friday.
My flight departs 8.30 and I suppose I should aim...
We will complete our first Camino Frances in early November in SdC. We'll be staying in Santiago for a few days afterward and would like to take the bus out to Finisterre.
In looking at transport, it seems the bus ride will take anywhere between 1.5 and 2.5 hours meaning we will spend...
How difficult is it to get a taxi, mid week, from the Cathedral in Santiago to (or near) the airport? I'm actually staying 12K from the Cathedral with a very early flight in the morning. I'm not excited about the prospects of adding another 12k to my 26k day into Santiago. Thanks!
Are the trains to Madrid from Santiago usually very crowded on a Monday in mid-October?
Is it necessary to prebook train tickets well in advance? Thanks!
Today, I read in El Correo Gallego that a taxi rate increase for Santiago has been approved. This is likely a consequence of general price inflation. According to the article, no implementation date is yet set.
Here is the link...
Hello,
I have to get bus tomorrow in 6am but im still confused.
What is Rúa do Hórreo (carril bus)? I did not found bus stop with this name, its long busy street. Does the bus go from bus stop Hórreo nº 23 in 6am?
Hey! I am arriving to Santiago airport on the night of July 10th at around midnight. Was wondering if anyone knows if it’s possible to get a bus at this hour to Sarria? Would love to arrive there that night and start the walk the next morning.
I have just watched a short film (Sept 2021) on You Tube conducted by a very smart gentleman about the new bus station in Santiago.
Is the old bus station still situated at Plaza de Camilo Diaz at the end of Rua de Anxo Casal? The bus from the airport dropped you here and you could catch a bus...
Looking at flight options from Santiago to London around 4th July. Flights earlier in the day are really expensive, 330+ Euros. I have looked at other options, flying out of Madrid,..., but the cost is still about the same. Any tips for an inexpensive way home will be appreciated.
Hi Pilgrims!
First time poster.
Feeling nervous in Santiago tonight because I’m not able to book a taxi in advance for my 6:50AM flight because Taxi’s are overworked with the influx of people. My Hotel gave me a script to help me with Spanish tomorrow morning when I call— I will need to turn...
I have a 10:30am flight from Madrid back home in mid-August. I'm looking at booking the earliest flight possible out of Santiago to Madrid on a Saturday morning.
However, i worry about the flight getting cancelled due to fog/weather conditions.
Can anyone advise if early morning flights from...
We are planning on ending our camino in Muxia in July. When we completed the same root there was an early morning bus from Muxia to Santiago. When I looked online Rome2rio said that there was only one bus for this route at 5 pm. Does anyone know if that is accurate?
I am trying to plan a bus to Lugo and on to Sarria.
I can’t work out where buses leave from.
Some information indicates the bus station next to the train station and at other times I am directed to a street near the old town.
Am I reading old information?
Any links that will direct my to what I...
My plane out of Santiago Airport leaves at 06.25 which will, of course, require me to be there at least 2 hours before i.e. 04.25. I like to be at airports well in advance so normally I would be looking to get there an hour earlier i.e. 03.30. As a consequence in view of the time it would take...
We will be starting our camino very soon. We leave the USA a week from tomorrow. To make things easier for us does anyone know of a competent travel advisor in Santiago that we may use for travel within the EU after our camino is done? Yes I know we can use the internet, yes I know there are...
My friend and I are arriving at SCQ at 23:10 on April 25th.
Our first choice would be to get to Sarria straight from the airport. We are fine with taking a taxi, but unsure there will be any of them that late at night. Is it worth risking making reservations on Sarria, or not?
