This is the correct answer to your question. Start checking when you are around six weeks out.Or they are unbookable this far ahead and just not yet available?
Thank you!! That is a relief to knowThis is the correct answer to your question. Start checking when you are around six weeks out.
I went from Madrid to Santiago in March. Tried to book 3 months before, 2 months before and was not available. It will be available +- 1 month in advanceI'm looking to leave Santiago for Madrid in October but can't find a train ticket. Is this because there aren't any trains? Or they are already fully booked? Or they are unbookable this far ahead and just not yet available? Any help or advice most appreciated
I've done the same this year when needing to get from Santiago to Segovia in mid May. For those of us connecting train service to our airports to get back home, it can be unsettling, especially for those of us who like to plan ahead, but waiting and continually checking is frustrating, although perseverance eventually does pay off. There is not always an exact time frame in my experiences when tickets are finally released; be it 6, 5, or 4 weeks or a tad less in advance.I went from Madrid to Santiago in March.

Does Renfe works in Portugal? Or from Vigo to Porto is another company?Also - if you look on Renfe for Santiago to Porto - won’t find it. BUT - if you look at Santiago to Vigo then Vigo to Porto - It’s there! There are two train stations in Vigo but a 10 min can ride.
Renfe is the Spanish train system.Does Renfe works in Portugal? Or from Vigo to Porto is another company?
'Comboios de Portugal' but most commonly referred to as CP.Comboios is the Portuguese train system
Thank you for the correction'Comboios de Portugal' but most commonly referred to as CP.
'Comboios' just means trains.
Personally for myself, when I need to get to Madrid from Santiago to catch my flight home, I never wait until a day or two ahead of time, no matter what month I am traveling. Quieter tourist months usually mean fewer trains are operating. And for the high speed trains, once tickets are released, they usually sell out fast, which has been my experience.Is it necessary to book a train from Santiago to Madrid at the end of October more than a day or two in advance?
Yes to this . Often there is no point waiting if you know when you need to travel.
