Leon to Sarria

[Noony]

Hola todos! I’m trying to find the best way to get from Leon to Sarria where I will start my walk. For context, when I decided to stay in Leon for a few days before my walk I saw that there were several options for getting myself to Sarria on October 3. However, now that I am ready to buy my ticket for a bus or train (tried Rome2Rio, Omio, Trainline) it’s coming up empty. 1. Any suggestions on where to look for options? 2. Is anyone is heading in same direction on the same day?

A few ALSA buses from Leon to Lugo that day. Once in Lugo you can change to the local Monbus service to Sarria.

I appreciate your response! I checked out the ALSA website and did see the departure times but the itinerary was not available (so I don’t know which bus stop it is leaving from- if there is more than one). Is this a ticket that I should buy in advance or is it possible to buy same day tickets?

Best to buy ALSA tickets in advance - they can and do sell out on occasion. It should not be necessary to buy tickets in advance for the short journey from Lugo to Sarria.

The ALSA long distance buses leave from the main bus station which is near the railway station

I found a train connection from Leon to Monfort de Lemos and then 30 min train to Sarria. Departure from Leon is once a day at 16:57. For some reason it gets into Monfort prior to mid-September too late for the 20:42 to Sarria but after that in time for it. Also if the connection is missed, taxi from Monfort to Sarria should be about 110 Euro. Use Rail Europe or Trainline or brave the idiosyncrasies of the Renfe website. Only Rail Europe found the connecting train

Oops. It is Monforte with an "e" and not Monfort for Monforte de Lemos.
