Burgos to Sarria in a day

[Genecamino55]

I am just about done with my itinerary.
Now I need a way to get from Burgos to Sarria in one day, leaving Burgos on the 8th of September.
Train or bus would be preferred.
Is that possible ?
Or is there another service for that ?

Have you checked out rome2rio? It is an app to find and book bus and train tickets around the world.

On most days you can do it with ALSA buses Burgos - Leon and Leon - Lugo. Then take the short local Monbus service to Sarria. But there are fewer services on a Sunday.

As suggested in your other posts, check rome2rio.com
There I see this possibility:

But I thought you start from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port on September 3rd? You cannot walk to Burgos in 5 days!

Sarria is poorly served by bus, but you can get there using several trains.

that almost worked. All the tickets were sold out on the 7th and the 8th

Rome2rio is a secondary seller with limited ticket availability. It would be worth checking with ALSA and RENFE and / or settling for travel on Monday 9th where there appears to be plenty of availability. And, as I’ve said elsewhere, do not search for the entire journey in one go. You have to break it into it’s component parts: Burgos-Leon, Leon -Lugo, Lugo - Sarria.

Spanish transport systems do not operate with peripatetic pilgrims in mind. Buses go where local people want to go, occasionally to the benefit of pilgrims

Sarria does not appear to be an acceptable destination.. on ALSA.

I'm also confused. @Genecamino55 can you post your current itinerary?

No, you will have to transfer to another bus. Rome2Rio has that information.

It looks like you change to a Monbus bus at Pedrafita Do Cebreiro after a 5+ hour wait.

No, it isn’t because ALSA do not run buses to Sarria. Monbus run buses to Sarria from Lugo.

We’d all like to help you amigo but we need you to be helped

And this is why R2R is no longer a go to for travel information. Omio will only show routes for which they can sell tickets and their AI should probably stand for Absence of Intelligence

I don't seem to be able to get the same results.. on the Alsa web site

Here's Burgos to Pedrafita Do Cebreiro on Alsa

Checkout - Alsa

www.alsa.com

Then you need to look on the Monbus site for the bus from Pedrafita Do Cebreiro to Sarria, but they are not showing their September schedule yet:

We would better be able to help you if we knew exactly what you are trying to accomplish. At one time you posted that you wanted to walk from SJPdP to Pamplona, then go from Pamplona to Sarria. Now you are talking about trying to get from Burgos to Sarria in one day.
Are you still arriving in Paris on September 1st, and hoping to get to SJPdP the same day?
After that what are your plans?
It seems like you are going to be spending quite a bit of time on transport rather than on the Camino!

You won’t because they’re different companies. That aside, how are you getting to Burgos for the 8th? And, just so we have the whole picture when is your homebound flight and from where?

 

[Camino Chrissy]

I only use Rome2Rio to get basic information for bus and train routes from points A to B, but I do not rely solely on the information. It is just a starting point for my research as I don't always trust their accuracy.

I have worked out all the details for starting at SJPDP and walking to Pamlona. Then Burgos by train.. I will be walking the rest of the way from Sarria. I believe I will be walking 10 or 11 days.

I am catching a flight out of Santiago back to Paris.. Then back to my home state of Michigan in the US.

 

[J Willhaus]

Maybe fly from Pamplona to Santiago via Madrid. Then bus to Sarria. There is one direct bus per day via Monbus.

 

[Tincatinker]

Here you go @Genecamino55

Burgos to Sarria, in one day and on a Sunday!


ALSA bus Burgos to Leon departs 04:00 arrives 06:00
ALSA bus Leon to Lugo departs 10:15 arrives 13:30
MONBUS Lugo to Sarria departs 13:35 (you'll be lucky!) or departs 17:30 arrives 18:10

So far as I can see tickets are currently available now for all those departures, buying directly, except Monbus which has not opened September bookings yet.

There is a 17:20 departure from Burgos gets to Leon 19:00 from which you could catch the 20:30 to Lugo but that gets in at 00:20 so you'd have to overnight in Lugo or take an expensive taxi - ride.

Buena suerte
