Once I have booked my ticket north and back into Spain, everything goes smoothly. Bicycles are accepted without the need to dismantle them and with no surcharge. The train to Porto is fully booked and I get talking to someone who tells me that any resident of Portugal can pay 20€ per month for intercity travel anywhere in Portugal, since last October. I guess this partially explains the full train, although the majority are tourists.
The international train to Spain is somewhat old and has only a handful of people, despite it being the only train today. It's got the groovy reversible seat system, so that you can always be facing forward.
I arrive in Vigo in the evening and ride towards my next destination, Ourense. I find a quiet spot to pitch my tent deep in a forest.
