Travel & Transfers
My recommendation is to fly to Santiago de Compostela airport, as it is the closest airport to Sarria.
From the airport, you can take a taxi directly to Sarria, or if you prefer, you can take the bus from Santiago de Compostela. The company that operates this route is "Monbus".
You can always check with your travel agent for private transfer options too.
If you cannot find suitable flights to Santiago de Compostela, the second option is to fly to A Coruña airport.
From Madrid, you can take a train from "Madrid Chamartín" station to Sarria. The train company that normally operates this line is "Renfe". You will be able to purchase tickets without any problem and normally tickets go on sale 6 weeks before the date.
At the end of your trip in Santiago de Compostela, I recommend flying from Santiago de Compostela airport, which is only 15 minutes from the city centre. As there are always a big choice of taxis and bus lines running every 10 minutes to the airport, you will be able to return easily.
