Arriva buses run daily between Santiago and Finisterre. The trip is between 2.5 hours and 3 hours depending on whether the bus driver decides to stop for a coffee or not!

The first bus to Fisterra is at 9am and the last bus leaves Finisterre for Santiago at 18.00 (6:00 PM) Sunday through Friday, and 15.00 (3:00 PM) on Saturdays. Seven (7) buses run Monday through Friday, and three (3) on Saturday and Sunday.

The telephone number for Arriva Buses is 981 488 511. If you go to the tourist information desk in Santiago, you can get information on the Arriva bus station and a card with bus hours.

Fisterra = Finisterre, then! The Monbus schedule links will die in a week, as the date in them will have passed, but the Monbus website link will lead to the schedule that is in effect.

Falcon sent me a pm suggesting I look up the Spanish spelling of Finisterre - which is, of course ..... Finisterre!
I think you meant the Galician spelling which is Fisterra.
My apologies Falcon - it looks like Monbus have taken over the Santiago Finisterre route from Arriva.

Timetable: Santiago to Fisterra - 9am - 10am - 1pm - 7pm
Returning: 8h20 - 11h45 - 16h45 (they've dropped a number of the buses from both routes)
The bus stops right outside the albergue in Fisterra.

I am hopelessly and cluelessly monolingual. I assumed that a committee somewhere in Spain had not decided over the last thousand years whether it was Fisterra or Finisterre. There is an elegance in being able to spell the same word two different ways, so I have always been tolerant of the imprecision. Sillydoll was able to use both spellings in her post quite comfortably, so the world is still aligned properly! It wasn't until my third Camino that it dawned on me that "junta" and "xunta" referred to the same thing. The committee on that one must still be meeting, too. If they ever decide, the spray paint duel between the "x" and "j" graffiti people may see an end.

Ultreia/ultreya/ultreiya... Forget about it -- animo.

Just downloaded the movie THE WAY, very inspiring, cannot wait to actually achieve this trip in August.

BIG mistake! Mentioning on this forum that you have downloaded copywrite material, the moral police will soon be casting stones at you.
