    Monbus schedule?

    public transport from Santiago to Porto in October

    Don’t know if this helps but we spent several weeks in Portugal and did not need special cards for seniors discounts on the trains , just passports showing date of birth. 50% off, a great bargain.

    Is this Valid - or would it be cheating?

    A few years back we had a late lunch ( Padron peppers) and then proceeded to Hotel Scala, which was upscale a bit but reasonable and 3 km past Padron, directly on the Camino. Shortened the distance the next day and put us a bit ahead of the large wave.
