Porto to Santiago Spring 2018
We plan to travel the coastal Portuguese route in May, 2018. Which airport should we fly into,
Lisbon, Madrid, or somewhere else? Thanks in advance.
 
Altus BALI Sleeping bag liner
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
Depends on where you're going to start hiking!!

From where I live, there weren't flights direct to Lisboa and that's not even where I was going to start hiking; it made the most sense to fly US > Madrid > Porto. If I'd planned to start hiking in Lisboa, the routing would have been US > Madrid > Lisboa.

Porto/Matosinhos > Santiago is about 10 days; Lisboa > Santiago is about double that. How long were you planning on hiking? If your time is not limited due to work or something else, you might consider flying into Madrid and taking a train to either Porto or Lisboa.

Altus ANDES 400 H30 sleeping bag
Down bag (90/10 duvet) of 700 fills with 180 g (6.34 ounces) of filling. Mummy-shaped structure, ideal when you are looking for lightness with great heating performance.

€149,-
We found it easier to fly into Lisbon and take the train up to Porto.
However, the transfer between the airport and the train station took
longer than we'd expected. Nissan and Toyota would have been proud
of our "just in time" entry onto the train !

If you can not fly direct to Porto and are arriving in Lisbon I would recamend flying with Ryan Air from Lisbon to Porto I did recently and it only cost 10.00 euro cheaper than the train and the metro brings you from the airport to the city centre
 
We flew into Lisbon and spent a few days there before taking the train to Porto. Well worth it!
 
Camino Ready, Backpacks, Boots etc
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
It was cheapest for us to return to Lisbon. It was an easy train trip with one change of trains.
