Public transport from Santiago to Porto

[m_kher]

My husband and me are walking the Camino from Tui to Santiago. We fly into Porto. I found both bus and train options to travel from Porto to Valenca. My question is about coming back. I could not find any public transport to Tui. How do people do the return journey? Or is it simpler to fly out from elsewhere?

Thank you

I'm confused. Do you want to return to Porto or Tui?
There are several buses every day from Santiago to Porto. I've taken both Alsa and Flixbus and it was a comfortable trip of less than 4 hours.

It’s often easier for people, particularly pilgrims, to return to Valença and then cross over to Tui on foot. Tui is an oddly neglected town for transportation.

Why would you want to get back to Tui? Assuming you’re flying back out of Porto there are bus and train options from Santiago.

If you train from SdC to Vigo, you can then transfer trains and travel cross-border to either Valenca or Porto. The train doesn't stop in Tui, but presumably you could just get a taxi from one to the other.

Keep in mind that the cross-border Spain-Portugal train leaves from the old, small station downtown, a short cab ride from the station where all the domestic Spanish Renfe trains come in.

Bus back from Santander to Porto via Vigo roughly 5 hrs.

I took an ALSA bus from Santiago to Porto in November, about a three hour ride. Three stops before reaching Porto bus station. The last before that was Porto airport.

Take the bus.
