Options to get from Santiago to Tui

The distance between Santiago and Tui is about 120 kilometers. Although there is no direct train connection, there are several efficient alternatives:

• 3. By train + bus
  Another alternative is to take a train to Vigo (Urzáiz or Guixar stations) and then connect with a bus to Tui. Depending on schedules, this route can be more convenient but requires a change.
