bus station and train stations in Santiago?

[travelingbones]

Hi,
I'm considering taking the renfre train from Madrid airport from Atocha Renfre in Madrid to Santiago, 15:00-20:41 on Friday Jan 18th.

Then, catch the Alsa bus from Santiago to Piedrafita Do Cebreiro 21:30-00:50.

1. How far is the train station to the bus station? Just wondering if I can make it.
2. Will it be hard to find a hostile/ albergue this late in Cebreiro?
3. Would I be better off getting off the train at an earlier destination and taking a bus from a different town?

Thanks!
Bobby

The train and bus stations in Santiago are not near each other. You will need to take a taxi to make your connection.

The albergue in O Cebreiro is several kilometers up the hill from Piedrafita do Cebreiro. You will be arriving very late, and it will be closed. There is a hotel (hostal) in Piedrafita:

Hostal Rebollalmore
Avenida De Castilla, 18. Piedrafita Del Cebrero
27670 Pedrafita do Cebreiro, Lugo, Spain
982 367 115

I think the bus from the Madrid airport goes through Piedrafita on its way to Santiago.
