Santiago - Ourense travel

[gschmidl]

I'm currently confused and alarmed by what the Renfe website is showing me. When planning the Ourense-Santiago stage of the VdlP/Sanabrés, I was looking at a random Saturday to see how many trains would run from Santiago to Ourense, and it looked like there was one roughly every 30 minutes.

Now I'm checking the actual day of arrival, April 27th, and... the website shows 3 trains. 6am, 10am, 3pm. We arrive after that last train leaves. Are we screwed? Is the site not yet fully populated with train connections? What other options do we have if there's actually only 3 trains between two tourist hotspots on a Saturday? Help please!

It may be that not all of Aprils train times are yet published.

Otherwise Monbus has a departure at 6pm. http://www.monbus.es/es#seleccion and there are train departures early Sunday morning https://venta.renfe.com/vol/search.do?c=_dc7g

Get a good nights sleep in Santiago, rise early, one hour on the train, get coffee, start walking. It’s beautiful stop stressing you could be effecting your health.

I would, except our accommodation is already booked in Ourense. Less stressed than baffled at the moment.

Perhaps. Looking at RENFE, I see no evening trains from Santiago to Ourense from march 4th onwards.
(Until March 3rd, there's an 8.30pm daily departure - even Sundays)
If the train and bus don't work, try blablacar

Now the rest of the trains have appeared.
