Villaviciosa to Tarragona by Train

Dear Gary

I have friends in Villavicosa in Asturias and also in a little Village called Alfara des Carles in Tarragona I plan to visit both of them in April next year with my son (6years) and planned to get a ferry from Plymouth to Santander but have you any idea i can get from Villaviciosa to Tarragone by rail ?

I will then fly home from Reus to UK

Many thanks for your help

Regards

Hi S

Apologies for the delay in coming back to you but we have been away ourselves!

The easiest way to get from Vilavicosa to tarragona is by Train. You would need to get your freinds to take you to either Gijon or Oviedo where there is a direct overnight train to Tarragona.

The train runs on Mon/Tue/Wed/Thur/Fri/Sun hours as follows...
Leaves Gijon at 1905
Leaves Oviedo at 1934
Arrives in Tarragona at 0717 the following morning! Costs are around 50 euros for an adult and 25 euros for a child.

You can get all the information that you need in English here: http://horarios.renfe.es/hir/ingles.html You can even call them and they will be able to speak in English. Its an adventurous trip but should be fun, I hope all goes well.

Would be great to hear from you after the trip as your experience could help other travellers in the future.

Regards

Gary
