Minho River
The line was planned to be extended to the south towards the border between Spain and Portugal and with a further connection to the city of Porto as the Porto–Vigo high-speed rail line, including the longest railway bridge on the Iberian Peninsula for the 4.5 km crossing of the Minho River. It was also planned to be extended to the north from A Coruña to Ferrol. However, these plans were shelved in 2011. The plans were deactivated by the Portuguese government in 2020.
