Hi. I want to get a bus from Santiago de Compostela to El Ferrol to start the Camino Ingles in May. I have tried some of the suggestions on the forum but without success. What bus company? Where to get timetables?
Cheers, Michael

Try Monbus. There are several departures everyday to Ferrol. See more on their English web here--

When I arrived, I took the bus from the airport to the Santiago bus station, bought a ticket at the ticket counter upstairs and took the next available bus to Ferrol. I didn't worry about what bus line, etc.

ditto Doug. I have twice done this and never had to wait long. The interesting part is knowing that sometimes you can almost reach out and touch the Camino, that that land of to the right is where you will be walking!

The service from SdC bus station to Ferrol is by Monbus. There are plenty each day departing from 09.15 to 20.30. The journey takes around 1hr 20mins and costs about 10 euros.

Bus times are here for January 24th on Monbus. The times look similar to ours in May. We bought our ticket at the bus station and they gave us the timed ticket and which stand it should come in to. The bus actually comes from Vigo for some of the journeys. Just check with the driver that you are on the correct bus as ours came into a different stand to the expected one.

There are trains as well...I use a free app to find them. It is often as cheap as the bus. Railplanner or train line , or even the RENFE app.
