Hi Mariza - the web site below gives all the trains from Porto to Valenca. Valencia is only a short walk across the bridge over the River Minho so nice to walk out of Portugal into Spain a new beginning. Having just finhshed my Camino the wlak across the bridge is very pleasant with a nice view of Portugal

http://www.cp.pt/sites/passageiros/pt/consultar-horarios/horarios-resultado - journey time ranges from 1hr 40 to 3hr 27 but there are plenty of trains 05.00 to 20.00.

You will have a great Camino Tui to SdC is really nice - the alberque in Pontevedra is only a very short walk from a great restaurant selling octopus worth a trying a small platter between 2 - you actually walk passed it getting to the alberque.
Bien Camino!!

Haven't seen any company doing connections from Porto to Tui, but there are several options for buses and rail to Valença. The walk over the bridge to Tui (4-5km) is nice with good views.

Autna has buses leaving from Porto airport:

Haven't seen any company doing connections from Porto to Tui, but there are several options for buses and rail to Valença. The walk over the bridge to Tui (4-5km) is nice with good views.

hi there, thank you too for your help. I'm glad I found this forum.

..
The walk over the bridge to Tui (4-5km) is nice with good views.
...

The bridge between Valenca do Minho and Tui is no ordinary span. Known as the International Bridge it was designed by the Eiffel firm (of Paris tower fame) in 1898 and carries pedestrian, vehicular and rail traffic in 3 separate but connected sections. From Valenca the view towards Tui from the bridge at dusk as the lights are lit is spectacular.

Bom caminho and Buen camino!
