    Where do I start on Porto-Santiago route?

    S/O usually means straight on. I wouldn't worry that much about reading the guide book and worrying where you are going as when you arrive "following the arrows" takes over and you wont have time to keep reading the guide book. As long as you keep an eye out at the sections where alternative...

    Madrid airport connection to Porto

    I would take the flight into Lisbon and take the train up to Porto. I used this train two years ago. Trains are very regular but make sure you take the express service, they are obvious on the timetable and also check out the price of first class, it was only a few euro more.

    Cheap train tickets in Portugal

    I used the Lisbon to Porto train last May and would certainly recommend it. We were in a group of four and received a further discount so we went in first. Well worth the couple of extra euro.
