Hi everyone, buen camino! I am planning my camino from oviedo to lugo then getting the bus to Santiago, is it best to book this bus or can you just pay on the day?

Generally the driver can not sell you a ticket and so you need to buy a ticket beforehand from an agent or the bus station. Buying it on the day, just before you leave is certainly a possibility. I have no idea how busy that route is though so I can't give advice on if it might be prudent to buy it before your day of departure.

I'm a bit of a pro planner which I did want to avoid on the camino but due to time constraints and covid regs in Albergue have booked everything so will go ahead and book the bus just to be sure, thanks for help Doughnut..... Love the name

If you are riding on Alsa their website is in English, just click on the tab on top and it is super easy to buy tickets.

Since you will be taking the bus to Santiago I'm assuming that you don't want to receive a Compostela?

Alsa.com is in English. Alsa.es is in Spanish.

We've just turned up and bought tickets in Lugo but I always feel more relaxed if I've bought on line ahead of time.

Alsa is owned by the UK National Express coach operator.

Yes, you can buy a ticket the same day at the bus station. A big station with different time schedules to Santiago. If you have to wait for one hour or two there is a nice bar next to the station Good Luck and Buen Camino on the Primitivo
