Plan to go on May 1, 2020 for roughly 100 km to Santiago. What would be the starting point for both Coastal and land option?
How this would compare with the route from Saria to Santiago?

Hola and welcome @Marenka J to the forum. If you are on the Central Route then you can start from Tui on the Spanish side of the border and its 120km to Santiago or if you start in Porrino its 103 km.
On the Coastal route via Vigo you can start inA Ramallosa which is `123 km or Vigo (via Redondela where it joins the Central Route) its 101.2km. From the little I have read Tui is probably easier to get to via a bus, don't recall reading about any one starting in Vigo. Hope this helps.

If you are flying into SDC it is easier to get to Vigo by direct train

As I understand it, Vigo to SDC is just under 100km. We started at Baiona (a much pleasanter place in my opion). Bus from Vigo to Baiona is easy (we did it) and frequent.

Bus.gal is a good website (Spanish or Galician languages only) that shows the buses all around Galicia. The are a number of companies not listed on Google or Rome2Rio. Both Tui and Baiona look real easy to get to. The daily mental coin flip between the two is now a fun exercise.
I should be starting from Baiona or Valença on the 29th of April. You may see me with my sketchbook and pen. The last coin flip may be at the Estación Autobús in Vigo.

Vigo to Santiago qualifies for the compostela, just over 100km. We got our compostelas last September.
