Where does the Alsa bus leave from in SDC? And do I need a reservation?

The bus station in SdC is easily reached by city bus and recommended since it's a bit out from the cathedral area. There are a surprising number of people going to Portugal so yes, you should reserve,

Final question:

Should I reserve the Alsa bus to Lisbon Oriente or Lisbon Sete Ríos if I want to be near the airport? There are two choices.

Oriente. It's on the same metro line (red) as the airport and only a few stops away. And the bus will stop there before Sete Rios.

Not always! Although it is supposed to! One time, as the bus was approaching Lisbon, I noticed that we were not where we were supposed to be, and I wondered what was going on. The driver was taking a different, more direct highway route to Sete Rios. He dropped everybody else off in Sete Rios, got all their bags off, then got back in the bus and drove me to Orient. I was about an hour late!

Yes! To need to reserve. I am here SdC and left reserving on ALSA too late. But! Was able to get a ticket online through Eurolines. Whew...
Will be in Lisbon a couple of days to begin to process before going home. Has been a very different experience from the Frances in 2015.
