I plan to continue cycling from Santiago down to Porto before flying back to UK. Is there a place in Porto that will pack a bike for me? There are packing places in Santiago, I was wondering if they existed elsewhere.
Thanks in advance

There is a hardware store in downtown Porto that has tape and heavy duty plastic on a big roll. They were very helpful and cut the length I needed to make a big plastic bag for my bike for its flight home.

Hi,

We had our packs wrapped by this company in Porto airport. Appears to deal also with bikes (no idea whether they actually do it in Porto) : https://www.safe-bag.com/en/bike-box/

Most cycle shops will give you a cardboard cycle box - and usually are helpful with tools if you need them.
