Anyone been walking in reverse from Ferrol to A Vila de Bares?

For next year, springtime, I am considering this as the ending of a reverse Camino Inglés: From Ferrol to the northernmost point of Spain / Faro de Estaca. Anyone who ever walked the Ruta del Mar in reverse? How easy would it be to get back from there to Santiago?

Early planning time, so I feel quite dumb still ;-)

If you look at @Magwood 's blog she has been to there from O Barqueiro which has a FEVE station. On FEVE you can get to Ferrol and the train/bus back to Santiago

Day 28, Camino del Norte (Ruta do Mar) Circular side trip Porto do Barqueiro to Estaca do Bares 23.8 km

Total distance 791.6 km Daily average 29.1 Today’s accumulated uphill elevation 672 m Today’s accumulated downhill elevation 672 m Oh dear, my day off dawned with a heavy downpour. So I just stayed…

I did SdC - reverse Ingles - reverse RdM to Oviedo. Fairly simple if you keep close to the FEVE line to keep options open / finding accomodation. But timing would need to be flexible as there is usually only 1 or 2 trains/buses per day past Ortigueira
 
Thank you!
It seems to be rather free of potential complications then. Except of course that pilgrim specific infrastructure is more limited.
I really hope that I will have enough time left in the end to enjoy that supposedly beautiful stretch of the coast.
