Transportation from Porto to Sarria

Ginnymb

Celebration of Life
Time of past OR future Camino
Planning for September 16, 2022
Ola Fellow Pilgrims,
We are in Porto and need to get to Sarria tomorrow, 9/16, for the start of our Camino. Is there anyone going in that direction that can recommend a good way to get there? Train is out of the question because even the Ticket master said it was too difficult. Buses take a long time ie 8 hours, with a change and waits. Any other ideas please?
Muchas gracias!
Ginny and Steve

You might be able to get a taxi as another pilgrim has arranged in this post, but it will be very expensive.

Do you have bookings from Sarria? If not, you could start your Camino from Tui on the Portuguese route.
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
Thanks for speedy replies! Yes it’s a bummer and we are fully booked through Follow the Camino from Sarria to Santiago!
 
Since you are booked with a tour operator perhaps they might have a suggestion as to transport.
 
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
Train to Vigo, then to Ourense, then to Monforte de Lemos, then to Sarria.

But yeah, it would probably take the whole day.

You could hire a car for the week, if you're not more than 5 people.
 
Thank you all.
We are here to meet some family members who are starting their Camino Portuguese bike tour. We decided to take a car service that is pricey but will save some wear and tear before our walk. Buen Camino!
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
