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.

What Bradypus said. Also, be aware that if you're planning to travel on a Friday, chances are that trains might be full. This is because many students travel back home for the weekend and they book their tickets in advance, so a seat on a Friday evening train can be difficult to get.
In that case, check the buses. They are frequent too and there are usually spaces available.

Bus Station and Train Station are side by side.

Vigo Urzaiz and the Bus Station are side by side and the rail station is in the basement of Vigo Vialia, a new, modern shopping mall. The faster medium distance trains travel here.

Vigo Guixar, is downhill by the port and is serve red by slower regional trains. This is where the trains bound for Porto depart.

It is a 15 to 20 minute walk between the two. You can avoid hiking tge hill by taking the Vigo Halo, a futuristic new elevator - walkway combo.
