RENFE has launched a promo today for their new Avlo high-speed low-cost train service from Vigo-Madrid and A Coruna-Madrid (with a stop in Santiago de Compostela) with tickets as low as 7 euros. The effective departure dates are July 22 to Sept 30. See article links below. They're in Spanish but your browser should translate it well enough if you don't know Spanish.
A sample trip is Saturday, August 24 from Santiago de Compostela (07:06) to Madrid-Chamartin (10:32) for 7 euros. 1 carry-on bag and 1 personal item is included in the price. Seat selection is an extra 8 euros if you want that. They are also doing this promo for their new service to Asturias as well. I think this is a great deal for pilgrims needing to go back to Madrid to fly home or for anyone who wants to go to Galicia/Asturias from Madrid.
For train nerds, RENFE is using brand new S-106 rolling stock that were just delivered to them a few months ago.
