Hello
I will be arriving in Porto on June 12. I would like to spend the night in Porto and train the next morning to Barcelos to start the CP on June 13.
Does anyone have information on:
1) Where I can stay in Porto (arriving around 8:00 pm)
2) What train station I go to and how to get a schedule. I have looked and it is a bit confusing.
Thank you so much for any recommendations.

The railroad station for Barcelos is Porto - Campanhã. For schedules and more in English see this link

Porto is a major city with a multitude of accommodation choices. However one simple family run place where I have stayed in the past is the Hotel Poveira opposite the station. Here is their web.

Bom caminho!

Hi Not just a Granny from another Granny. I will be taking the coastal route from Porto planning to leave on 16 September. I will have completed the Lisbon to Porto section so I am shouting myself a few nights luxury prior to the last section. What is your timing?

Hi Margaret, thanks for your message; forgive my late reply. I start from Porto; arrive 6th and start walking on the 9th; plan to walk along the coastal route (I love the ocean ) I plan to reach Santiago by 20th so that I can explore the city on 21st before flying back to UK on 22nd.
