Galicia’s long-running wage dispute escalated yesterday as inter-urban bus drivers in A Coruña province entered their second consecutive day of strikes. The 13 January action will be followed by stoppages on 16, 19, 20 and 23 January, with services cut by up to 50 % on routes under 25 km and reduced to a single round-trip on longer lines.

Minimum-service decrees safeguard essential links to Santiago de Compostela (SCQ) and A Coruña (LCG) airports, but frequencies are far below normal.

For international passengers recalibrating itineraries on short notice, having travel documents sorted quickly is crucial. VisaHQ can help by expediting Spanish visa and passport renewals, arranging courier pick-up, and providing real-time application tracking through its dedicated portal at https://www.visahq.com/spain/. The service is especially useful when strike-related delays force last-minute flight changes or alternative airport routings.
Rail services remain unaffected, yet the lack of feeder buses makes last-mile journeys tricky for visiting engineers and auditors. Several multinational plants in Arteixo and Narón have triggered car-pool contingencies and hotel shuttles to maintain production schedules.
If talks fail, unions threaten an indefinite strike from 2 February, potentially paralysing ground access during the Mobile World Congress in nearby Barcelona—for which SCQ is a low-fare entry point.
