Tried purchasing bus tickets (Santiago to Porto) online with ALSA, and it was rejected. Not a problem with the credit card, as I have recently used it here in Spain. The questions: can bus tickets be purchased at the Santiago station on Sunday? Are ALSA Flixbus, and Monbus all in the same bus station? Thanks for any advice!

There is a ALSA agent as well RENFE, adjoining the Pilgrims office (same place where you get your compostela), that can help you.

Be sure when you buy your bus ticket from SdC to Porto that you have your national passport with you for you are crossing an old international boundary; the ticket agent will ask to see it. Furthermore remember that the time in Portugal is one hour earlier than in Spain.

Good luck and Bom caminho!
