Hi All,
I have booked a walking week away from home arriving in Porto on 9th May at 19.10 (all being well).
My initial intention was travel to Vigo by train and walk to Santiago, returning to Porto for a return flight on 17th May.
This time fits the route stages.
However the train to Vigo leaves Porto Campanha just as my flight is scheduled to land. I know, not the best planning on my part.
I can split the journey by taking a train to Valenca that leaves at 21.03. However I am not sure if I can get through Passport Control and Customs with sufficient time (40 mins needed) to get from the airport to Campanha for 21.03. Does anyone have a comment to make on this slightly desperate plan?
My alternative is to take the Metro to Povoa de Verzim and walk for a few days on the Coastal Route. I have looked at the Metro timetable and it seems as if there are trains running until at least midnight to Povoa de Verzim but I am not confident that I have fully understood the schedule. Can a forum member please advise on Metro schedules.
I could of course stay in Porto for the night and execute either plan starting the following day but I am trying to avoid spending a night in Porto, a place I have been to on a few other occasions.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Regards,
Arthur Loughran
