Tommy Barr,Hi Folks we are a group of 8 planning on starting the Portuguese Central on the 25 th May 2022. Flying into Santiago does anyone have any information as regards transport to preferably Valenca or Tui. We would be arriving in the airport at 1700. Thank you.
Hi. I'm not too sure but Valenca to Porto is a straight train which I took last month. I believe there is a bus to Tui according to my friend who walked with me. He resides in Lisbon so is familiar with Portuguese train/ bus schedules. According to rome2rio com site there are 4 buses daily. As a matter of interest can you not fly into Porto and home from Santiago. On walking Del Norte in 2019 I flew to Santander and flew home from Santiago. Just a suggestion. Either way the Portuguese Central route is very beautiful so happy planning.Hi Folks we are a group of 8 planning on starting the Portuguese Central on the 25 th May 2022.

Thank you all for info. There is a schedule problem flying into Porto. It looks as if the mini bus will be the best option. Thanks again to all.Note that if any of you were thinking of using pack transfer service, Correos (Spanish Post Office) do not pick up in Valenca Do Minho, only within Spain i.e. from Tui. However TuiTrans service the whole route as I'm sure other companies may.
Email/phone them directly as they sometimes offer discount depending on the group size (at least they did pre-covid).
