Hi
Could anyone provide advice on how to get from Oviedo to Ferrol please.


I'm volunteering at Grado on the Primitivo for first half of June - (so will get back to Oviedo after that I guess )and had thought of walking the Inglés and possibly to Finistere.
- if that route is too roundabout to get to the start ; my alternate thought was to bus to Ponferrada and walk the Invierno. Being the 2nd half of June I was looking for the cooler trail ?

If you can help with advice, it would be much appreciated .

Annie

I believe you can travel direct between the two on the Feve (light railway). Although it is a 7-8 hour trip. Just google Feve timetable which should bring up link to the RENFE site, of which Feve is a part.

Search on Rome2rio.com gives a couple of transport options.

Many Thanks Miguel_gp and whariwarangi
I'll check out the Feve timetable I think first.
I had looked at Rome 2 rio but wasn't clear about the Feve.

Thanks

Yes Annie! I flew into Santander, stayed night there and bought ticket Feve to Ferrol ( you cannot buy it in advance ) Then Feve to Oviedo. Stopover there for an hour then onto another Feve to Ferrol where I started the Ingles. Slow travelling indeed, think I did almost ten hours in total. The first part to Oviedo is really a commuter train with lots and lots of stops...following the camino del Norte...
If you have the time I can really recommend this way of travelling.

I love travelling on the Feve,slow and scenic but much more enjoyable than the bus that travels,mostly,on the autovia.Also there is more opportunity to interact with the other passengers on a train.
Buen viaje.
