Madrid to Oviedo

Time of past OR future Camino
2021
So the camino bit me. Did the portugese central this year and now looking to do the primitivo next year. Easiest route from UK (Bristol) appears to be fly to Madrid and then train or coach to Oviedo. Train appears to be quicker and with a morning flight should be able to get to Oviedo by late afternoon. I have never been to Madrid so unsure how easy it will be to navigate this idea from terminal 1 to Chamartin train station were the trains appear to go from. Any help or other suggestions gratefully recieved
 
More 2024 Camino Guides available
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
First, Chamartin is under construction. There was a time earlier this year when the Cercanis light rail that runs from T4 in MAD wasn't running there. You'll have to check on current status. C1 or C10 Cercanis lines went to Chamartin...only a few minutes transit.

There's a mildly confusing inter-terminal bus shuttle at MAD that stops at all the terminals. Ask the driver...if a different shuttle bus gets to T4 first, he'll tell you. Took me about 20 min once I got to the bus stop (Sep 23).

As you've seen, there are at least 3 fast trains (Ave?) and a few slower ones to Oviedo per day. I would suggest using TrainLine to book when that booking window opens.

I personally overnighted in Madrid right by Chamartin and took the next day's first fast train.

Buen Camino

    Thread 'Flying out today!'

    I leave today! Flying into Barcelona and will then spend the entire next day training to SJPDP through Narbonne, Toulouse, and Bayonne. Got a couple points of concern I'd love to get input on: 1) I have 2 train transfers that are only 15 mins- one in Toulouse Matabiau, one in Bayonne - and I am worried about making it. Are these huge stations? Do the numbers on my train ticket correlate to the train I am looking for? Will there be signs with the destinations I can look for? I tried to look...

  • Thread 'Bag transport companies on the Camino - a list'

    Since this question comes up quite often I thought that I'd compile a list of companies providing bag transport on the Camino. Some only cover Spain, while others operate in Portugal. Check the company's website to find out if they service the route that you want to walk.

    Thread 'Luggage transfer on Coastal Portuguese route'

    Hallo, we might be staying in AirBnB, that does not have a luggage storage option. And we are doing only a bit of the Portuguese Camino Coastal, Spains side. Any suggestion on which transfer company one can use if you want to schedule a collection time :( Unfortunate that we will have Luggage, but it’s a months long traveling … and not just Camino. Thank you
