Travel Tip for a Smooth Start
To help you prepare for the pilgrimage, it can be beneficial to arrive a day or two early to allow your body to adjust to the time change. As a side note, we will meet our tour guide in Santiago de Compostela and be transported together to Sarria to begin the pilgrimage. Here are a few travel options to consider:
Option 1
Arriving in Madrid (MAD)
Madrid is a major hub and may offer the best flight prices. Travelers can spend a few days sightseeing and acclimating to the time difference. From Madrid, there are two main options to reach Santiago:

Flight:Â A national flight to Santiago (SCQ) takes approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Train:Â The fast train to Santiago de Compostela takes approximately 3 hours.
Option 2
Arriving Directly to Santiago de Compostela (SCQ)
Arriving directly is the closest option to our starting point, allowing travelers to spend 1–2 days in Santiago before the trip.
