I will (hopefully) be flying into Santander in May and need to get to Oviedo for the start of my Camino walk, wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to get there by train on a Sunday ? Any useful links most welcome
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.
Hola
I think you can also get there by the FEVE train,(it's a narrow gauage railway and goes all the way from Bilbao to Ferrol] its quite slow but a nice journey and I thinks runs twice a day from Santander to Oviedo, every day at 9.10 arrives 13.39 and 16.10 and arrives 20.39, I think the website is http://www.feve.es.

you can get direct from Santander to Oviedo direct on the FEVE. Narrow gauge railway along the coast. It rattles and clatters a bit but we think it great fun - it is certainly a beautiful ride and you get to see something of the Camino del Norte as well. I think that there are two trains a day and it takes something over 4 hours. Check it out here:- http://www.feve.es/es/

In our experience of travelling to and from Santander, by train (Feve) and by coach, we found the coaches quicker. The Feve is a rural winding railway system stopping at many little places, the coaches zoom along on the motorways and stop only in big towns.
Down bag (90/10 duvet) of 700 fills with 180 g (6.34 ounces) of filling. Mummy-shaped structure, ideal when you are looking for lightness with great heating performance.
just to endorse Bridget and Peter's recommendation of the coach.
In mid-September (2011) I travelled from Santander by bus to Villaviciosa on a Sunday. There were three or four buses going there that day and others connecting to bigger places like Oviedo. We changed once at Llanes. I think the whole trip took about 4 hours. We saw a couple of people stash their touring bikes and gear in one of the stowage compartments.
The bus station in Santander is easy to find and negotiate and the Alsa ticketing staff were very friendly and helpful
We are arriving in Madrid on May 5th. I went online today to purchase train tickets to Oviedo and it doesn't show any train service. Does that mean the trains are sold out? Or maybe some other...
Hi, has anyone walked the Primitivo in mid-October? What was it like? Weather, tracks and accommodation? I plan to walk from Oviedo to Lugo only, then bus to Santiago after. Thanks for your input.
