What is the easiest way to get to Sarria?

[PEA]

I arrive in London Heathrow on Friday 28th April 2017 and would like advice as to the easiest, quickest way to get to Sarria, either through Santiago or La Coruna. Has anyone got any tips with regard to train or bus from either of these cities to Sarria?

If you fly into Santiago you can get a bus via Lugo to Sarria from the airport, quite straight forward.

It may not be the easiest or quickest way to get to Sarria but the best way is to walk from SJPDP.

So true.
Wish you well, Peter.

This worked for me:

I travelled from Sydney, arrived at Heathrow, had six hours to get myself to Stansted airport (had a bit of a tough time getting through Heathrow immigration..... think the officer feared I was going to go AWOL while crossing London! I think it would've helped if I'd had proof of a hotel reservation in Sarria).

Then I got a Ryan Air flight to Santiago (they insisted on a hard-copy flight confirmation when I checked in: if people didn't have it, they had to pay extra..... just showing your email booking on your phone wasn't acceptable! Also the queues for the various boarding gates were very chaotic.... I almost got on the plane to Germany instead of Spain! Lots of us were confused!) - but at least Ryan Air is cheap, if you book in advance.

Had a good and quick flight to Santiago, then got a bus from the airport to Lugo (no bookings required, and just pay on the bus), then a shortish wait in Lugo for another company's bus to Sarria (no bookings required; buy your ticket from the ticket in the bus station.) A lovely bus trip.

I arrived in Sarria in the evening, and started walking the next morning. Next time I'd have a spare day in Sarria first.

All the best with your planning.
