i am travelling from Australia to Lisbon to do the Portuguese Camino from Porto to Santiago in June/July 2023. I will train from Lisbon to Porto to start the walk, but am having trouble finding easy options for my return journey from Santiago back to Lisbon. I’ve looked at Rome2Rio but there Don’t seem to be any easy or quick options? I’d be very grateful for any pointers.
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
It is possible to fly from Santiago to Lisbon with Iberia - changing planes in Madrid. About 3 1/2 hours altogether. Here's an example for June.

€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).

There are buses and train services with change of trains in Porto. Assuming that I reach Santiago, I plan to walk to Porto, eventually take the train from Santiago.

It is a wonderful experience! I did the same earlier this year. I had intended to walk back to Porto but decided on Finnistaire instead and then took a bus to Porto from Santiago and then the train to Lisbon. I am also Australian.
 
I'm flying into Lisbon and home from Madrid from Perth with Emirates. I get the train down from Santiago.
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
I have never taken the train, but that is what I will do if I ever have to make that journey again. It is true that the flight option from Santiago to Madrid to Lisbon is probably shorter in total travel time. I think I’d rather change trains in Vigo than change planes in Barajas, but it’s good to know that’s an option.

I rode the bus from Santiago to Lisbon, and unless you are someone who loves bus travel like @Anniesantiago, this particular trip is not likely to be high on your list. The bus is comfortable enough, but the route is all autovía and there is a very long stop (45 minutes?) at a highway rest stop. It gets the job done, doesn’t require a transfer, and may be cheaper than the train, so it’s not all bad. But I remember getting off the bus and thinking never again.
 
There is a direct bus or bus to Porto, train to Lisbon?
I've been having a bit of trouble with the same return route and this is what I have found:
and then the train to Lisbon

Next question, how far in advance does one have to book tickets on trains and buses especially when you have no set completion date for the compostella
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

I never do. I either just buy my ticket the day of travel or if I know the day, a few days before.
 
What is the most convenient and fastest way to get from Santiago back to Lisbon after completing the Portuguese? I have looked at planes, trains and automobiles, but it just doesn't look easy or fast. Anyone????

If you had known, you could have booked your flight home from Porto, rather than Lisbon. There are multiple busses a day that go from Santiago to the Porto airport. You could still get to Porto in about 3 hours on the bus, and then take the train from there (or bus to Vigo and then train) but this isn't going to be quick.
 
I was wondering if anyone could let me know if there are any trains you can take from Santiago to Lisbon. Maybe a plane is the best way? Looking to find the best way. Thanks Kevin
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.

You can take a Spanish train to Vigo, and there pick up a Portuguese train at Vigo that crosses the border at Valença and proceeds by the coast to Porto, where you can pick up the train to Lisbon.
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
Imo, bus would be far less stressful than airports and flights and baggage and changes and connections and everything. Direct comfortable bus service from SdC and stops briefly in Vigo and Porto on the way..
