My friend and I are starting the camino this July from Porto airport, and flying home from there too. How easy/how much/how long will it be to travel from Santiago (not walking) back to Porto airport? Thank you!

Check out the various travel possibilities on www.Rome2Rio.comMy friend and I are starting the camino this July from Porto airport, and flying home from there too. How easy/how much/how long will it be to travel from Santiago (not walking) back to Porto airport? Thank you!
The most economical trip is by bus from the Santiago busstation to Porto Casa da Música. Going by train you have to change twice , one time because the width of the railtrack is different in Spain. The bus does one stop in Vigo.I would also add that there is a direct train from Santiago to Porto, but it usually goes down there only once a day. If you're on a budget, the bus is cheaper, but not as scenic as the train ride.
Theres a bus takes you direct to the Airport,then to the bus station just outside of the city centre,leaves santiago twice a day from the main bus station ,the early one is usually full,may have to book a few days in advance under Alsa
If you show your ID and are 62+ you will get reduction on RENFE (Spain) and Comboios de Portugal--CP trains and if I am right on the ALSA bus aswell . Just say tercera edad (spanish ) or "terceira idade " (Portuguese) which means you are a pensioner. This also works in museums etc. all over the Iberic peninsular.From Santiago to Porto, it means 3 hours and a half by Alsa 30-40 € . There is a bus stop at the Airport or at Casa Da Musica. Last year I took my bus ticket near the Pilgrim Office and as I had my credential, I paid less (25 or 30 % off !)
