Camino Portuguese, Norte
Three days to go before I head to Irun and thence to Santiago.
I have booked my flight home from Porto that leaves at 12:15 so I need to get to the airport around 10:00 to 10:30.
The ALSA bus service cannot get me to the airport until 12:50
The train takes ages.
I am considering getting the bus to Porto the day before my flight and so my question is; will I be able to use an albergue for my overnight stay?
thanks

Hi David,
Most Alberges are flexible and will work with you. Some have resident managers/owners whilst others show up at 6am to manage the morning activity. Pilgrims leave their Albergue a to catch planes and buses at all times of day. So as long as you communicate your needs to them if should be fine. You just want to know the doors will be unlocked by the time you need to leave. Enjoy your walk.
Cheers Carmen

Hi Yes there are some hotels near porto airport on is only a five minuet walk from the terminal called something like airport hotel. BUT BUT BUT Do not go anywhere near the maldron hotel as we did it looked kind of funky but on getting there we found it was a BROTHEL we collected our thoughts and did our money and walked three kilometers down to the air port. Good luck and god bless.
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.
