Train transfer in Ourense

Time of past OR future Camino
Camino de Invierno (2023)
I will start my Camino by flying into Santiago de Compostela on July 7 and traveling by train the next day to Burgos where I will begin my walk on the 9th. I have a train ticket for Santiago to Burgos that involves a transfer in Ourense. However, there's only a 5 minute window between when the train from Santiago arrives and the train to Burgos departs. Has anyone else made this journey? How concerned should I be about making the switch to the train to Burgos?
 
Altus BALI Sleeping bag liner
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
Ourense has two stations and both of them are small. Spanish trains run pretty close to scheduled times, so the connection should not be a problem. Just make certain that you get off at the correct station. I have made many train connections without an issue.
 
I have made this connection going towards Santiago and had the same worries, but it worked out fine.
It was a scheduled connection and the two trains used both tracks at an island platform. I just walked off one train and straight onto the other.
you won’t be the only person making the connection so look out for others to take a cue from.
The Ourense to Burgos train will probably have Barcelona as it’s final destination.
Buen Camino
