From Madrid to Sarria

[lahyre]

Hello everyone.

As I've told, I'm walking with my dad next march and I want to buy our tickets this weekend (they are on sale!).

I guess I'll be arriving in Madrid 13:15 on march 16th.

What would you say the best way to go to Sarria is?

1 - Fly to SDC and from there get a taxi to Sarria.
2 - Get a train to Sarria.
3 - Try a bus to Sarria.

Please help me! I need to buy the tickets. jejeje

Six hours on the train, I understand it is a 11+ hour bus ride.

We took the train. We arrived in Sarria about 7:00 pm. We were traveling in May so we had lot of day light.

Hi there,

I just asked this question to someone at the Church on Thursday. Fly to SDC, and train to Sarria.

Buen Camino,

Texasguy

The two websites that help you traveling in Spain are https://www.alsa.es/ (bus) and http://www.renfe.com/ (train) For a good overview of travel options try also http://www.rome2rio.com/ (world wide). Sorry, without knowing your day and arrival time, I can't be more specific. Buen Camino, SY

I hope to do the same, but have questions after looking at the Renfe website. They are not showing any trains going from Madrid to Sarria after about the middle of January. Other routes are available 60 days out.

Either the Madrid to Sarria route will no longer be available, or they make those tickets available later?

When we were booking our travels for May 2015, RENFE was not posting the train schedule more then a month in advance of our travel date. Be patient with them. We booked with LOCO2 and as soon as the schedule was available for our travel date they let us know. Buen camino

Most likely, they'll be available later. Be patient!

I'm pretty sure the reason why you don't see trains for that route later than early/mid January is the opening of the high-speed line till Zamora that will mean some change of schedules on the trains going from Madrid to Galicia. I wouldn't be too surprised if the new train schedules were known just a few days before they are in use.
