Sarria to Santiago

[newbie]

I'm flying in to Santiago late Sep arriving approx 3pm and will then make my way to Sarria to start walking back to Santiago the next day. If i go by bus to Sarria it looks like it will be 10/11pm by the time i get there. Will it be easy to find somewhere to stay at that hour or should i just book somewhere in advance? Also will it be easy to pick up a Pilgrim's passport in Sarria? If i'm starting walking v early having arrived in late the night before will somewhere be open to get a passport first thing. Thanks so much for your help.

Hi
Just returned from the trip you are planning..great....Sarria to Santiago..Bus around 4 pm from S de C airport to Lugo then further bus to Sarria should take 2-3 hours ....... should get a place to stay .......you can call some places ahead which might make sense if you are arriving so late..you need to get a pilgrim passport before you go by joining the Confraternity of St James or local equivalent........masses of info on web
