You land in Santiago and your Camino starts somewhere else. Here are the buses and trains for that day, read from the official sources: the Xunta’s journey planner (bus.gal) and Renfe’s open timetables. Choose where you are going.

From the airport to the city›And to get back
Getting back from Santiago: to the airport, Porto, Madrid, Fisterra›
Timetables are those of 03/11/2026 (weekday), 07/11/2026 (Saturday) and 08/11/2026 (Sunday), read on 01/11/2026. They change by season: before you leave, confirm them on the official link in each leg. Bus prices are the cash fare published by the Xunta; train prices are on renfe.com.
What I do not tell you: ALSA’s times to Porto (only its search engine shows them) and the city bus to the airport beyond what TUSSA publishes. I do not make them up. If a leg is not here, I could not read it from an official source.
Taxi or pre-booked transfer
If you arrive late, there are several of you or you do not want to wait: a taxi from Santiago airport to the city costs €23 (indicative fare published by Santiago Tourism). For distant destinations you can book a car with driver at a fixed price before you leave; these two sell it online: Kiwitaxi (affiliate link · same price) and GetTransfer (affiliate link · same price). I do not publish their prices because they depend on the day and the number of people: ask for a quote.
