The recent opening of the so-called high-speed rail line between A Coruna and Vigo had a lot of media and symbolic resonance. In an peripheral area within Spain such as Galicia, with a traditional deficit in transport infrastructure, the railway line of the Atlantic Corridor is crucial to articulate the territory of the Urban Corridor Atlantic Galicia, which extends beyond the Minho to the north of Portugal. The Corridor now has an excellent intercity mobility. However, global mobility system suffers chronic problems (road congestion, lack of local public transport, intermodal absence, etc) not be solved with the launch of the new service. In this paper we start from a characterization of the Urban Atlantic Corridor, before analyzing the existing infrastructure. Finally, we examine the consequences of the new rail service from a territorial point of view.
