I did the overnight train(Trenhotel) from Santiago to Madrid in Nov 2011, it left at 22.03 and arrived at 08.05 the next day and cost Eur31.30 - booked online 2 months in advance. You have a glass of wine in the buffet car then go to bed and wake up in time for a cafe con leche before arriving in Madrid. Easy-Peasy!whariwharangi said:I recommend the train. 70 euros and much more comfortable than a bus.
I caught the 0900 bus from Finisterre to Santiago. The bus arrived at the train station around 1200. The train left at 1430 ... right on time and arrived on time 5 hours 49 minutes later at Chamartin station in Madrid.
I like transportation that arrives on time ...
My travel was in early December and I bought my ticket at the station without booking.
EUR6.00 on the Metro!rickster said:I took Ryanair from Santiago to Madrid this past June and it was cheap and easy. Wish that I had been
more skilled at finding cheaper transportation into Madrid from the airport as taxis are very expensive.
Took this flight last Sep for EUR 24!!!!Marcilb said:Just booked a flight from Santiago to Madrd with aryanair for 50 Euros

Wow, Eur 31.30 for sleeping accomodation on the Trenhotel train - that's amazing. Everytime I've looked on-line it is MUCH higher than that. What was your bed like? And the sleeping compartment? And, just to be sure, you booked on-line on the Renfe site? Thanks.

Look for connecting flights either to Santiago or La Coruna for the Camino Ingles. It might not cost much more and if the timings are right could save a long onward journey.Urban Trekker said:OK, now I know how to get from Santiago to Madrid. How about from Madrid to Santiago. Will be fling from the US to Madrid to walk the Camino Ingles in May/June.
I am looking to fly back from Santiago to Madrid after my walk (July 4th). Is it advisable to book this ticket in advance or wait until I arrive in Santiago? I will have a few days down time when I do "make it" to Santiago. I just checked the Ryanair site and they seem to be the cheapest....Thanks!
Buen Camino!
