Hello Jennifer,
I think you have two options here To take an Alsa Bus or a train to LUGO and then get the bus to Palas de Rei.
1) Alsa Bus: There are two you can take - the Eurobus at 19h30 that gets to Lugo at 1am. Cost is E78.30 OR - a bus at 23:59 that gets to Lugo at 06:16 and costs E54.
(Check website at http://www.alsa.es)
2) Train: There is only one train from Madrid which leaves at 22h10 and arrives in Lugo at 06h38 the next day. A one-way ticket will cost you E49.50.
(Check the website at: http://www.renfe.es)
Taking an overnight train or bus will save you finding accommodation in Madrid and means that you will get to Palas de Rei the following day.
The bus to Palas de Rei (about 60kms) will be on FREIRE - For further information, you can contact Freire bus company at +34 981 58 81 11. (I don't know if they have a website)
Hope this helps Jen.

You are welcome.
Just wish you cart start further back along the trail so that you could earn your Compostela.
Never mind, next time.
Buen Camino.
