I can recommend the Quinta Estrada Romana as I've stayed there in May 2014 (when is was not completely ready). The place is really worthwhile to stay and renovated in style.

Hello 19SH,
If you want to go to Porto by bus to catch your flight, don't forget to get your busticket in advance (maybe after you've decided what to do the last days) to be sure to be on board.
On the route from SdC the next one goes 4 hours later.
Bon Camino,
Hello Peregrinos,
My experience last year is that the long weekend with 1st of May is used by many Portugese (MTB) cyclists to go from Porto to Santiago in 3/4 days. (they go back by minivan).
At refugios the walkers always have priority above cyclists.
Yesterday I've booked my flight to Porto on the 25th of April 2014. Thus starting the 26th and avoiding the Easter weekend.
It seems the cheap tickets on flights are filling up now.
My idea is to head for the Coastal Portuguese route.
Anyone with the same schedule or joining from the Lisbon...
