    High speed train Santiago to Madrid

    You don't have to book this early, but suggest you do so a month ahead of time - my guess is it's unlikely that the trains get booked out. I've used RailEurope to book my trips as I had problems using the Renfe website. if you're concerned about flexibility, it's possible to pay a bit more so...

    Renfe question

    Air & Ground Transport to Sarria

    There would be many options on how to handle this. Direct flights from the US, best I know, only go into Madrid and Barcelona....or Lisbon and perhaps Porto in Portugal.

    Train Schedules Barcelona to Pamplona ...
