    Getting from SdC back to Lisbon

    In 2014 I caught a bus from Santiago to Lisbon luxury bus with stop over in Porto for lunch took about 7 hours in total. Booked the bus when I was in Santiago, fairly cheap from memory.

    Best towns to explore

    Having done the Camino Portuguese twice for me rest stops would definitely be Porto and many days as you can spare I had 4. Barcelos, Ponte De Lima and Pontevedra are all definite stops for me.

    Sending a bag from Lisbon to Santiago

    Joanne K, I've used the Portuguese postal service to send my extra travelling cloths to Ivar on both occasions when I walked from Porto without any problems and found the workers at the post office very helpful. Bom Camino Vasco

    Porto to Santiago in 7 days?

    If you are fit and can do the distance that works out to an average of 34km per day. I'd go for it and if you find yourself running behind you can always get a bus or taxi from one location to another along the way. I've walked with a couple people on the Portuguese Camino who were walking...

    Leaving Porto by train/metro? Which station to stop?
