RyanAir to Santiago, Part 2

I don't know if you have seen the front page today, but it seems like RyanAir has decided that Santiago is a place they would like to fly to anyway.

It seemed like it was all over a few months ago when they selected Porto over Santiago.

Everything is not sealed yet, but with a leak to the press the local politicians in Santiago will give them a boost in the local popularity polls. Let's cross our fingers.

I personally think that this will take Santiago de Compostela to the next level with regards to tourism, for the good and bad. Until now, a big share of the tourists that have visited the town have carried a backpack and a stick. With RyanAir this might change, and that is a pity. On the other hand with RyanAir a lot more people will be able to visit this beautiful town.

Let’s hope that the source that El Correo Gallego is using for this story is reliable and that RyanAir announces this new route(s) soon.

Greetings from a rather chilly Santiago (0c this morning, about 14c mid day)

Hi Pilgrim

Hi Pilgrim,

Yes let's hope it happens. This is imortant for the town, so I hope there are no last minute problems.

Regarding your bus question. I would visit:
http://www.alsa.es and see wat they have to offer. I am pretty sure they have a bus from Santiago to Ferroll.

Yu can get a full list of bus transportation companies here:
