Sorry Charles, there is only RENFE. Who will take your bike on certain trains under certain circumstances depending on the type of train it is. Likewise most of the long-distance bus services will convey bikes but again subject to conditions. In most cases the bike has to be, at least partially, dismantled and contained in some sort of package. Your best bet is local enquiry.

Renfe does accept bikes as baggage. Here is Renfe policy on bikes:

I've often seen people with bikes on trains in Spain. And there's a direct train from Puebla de Sanabria and Zamora to Santiago. If you're travelling mid-week the train will probably be half-empty, so it won't really be a problem.

Just found myself in this situation. Bicycles on the Zamora to Santiago line are only allowed disassembled and packed/wrapped up with max 120x90x50cm.
Travel bag required
