Madrid to A Coruna Route Overview

The Madrid to A Coruna route uses the high-speed line northwest from the capital through Castilla y Leon before entering Galicia via Ourense. A distinctive part of the trip is the transition from the dry plateau around Zamora to the greener Galician interior, followed by the run through Santiago de Compostela toward the Atlantic coast. Most long-distance seats on AVE and Alvia services are reserved, so your ticket is tied to a specific train and seat. Non-reserved boarding is not the usual practice on this route.
