  From Madrid , there are two possible routes. Via the north, by means of the Northwest Dual Carriageway (formerly the N-6), which links with the aforementioned A-9 motorway 20 km from A Coruña. Via the south, by means of the Rías Baixas Dual Carriageway, which crosses the province of Ourense and links, just before Vigo, with the A-9 again. You can also exit the dual carriageway at Ourense and travel to Compostela along the N-525 road.
