Hi Anne,
I actually did this last October.
I took a train from the central Sao Bento station (Via Campanhã ) to Viana do Castelo (about 90 minutes) and then went to a lower level underneath the train station to the bus terminus and caught a bus to Ponte de Lima (about 40 minutes). I had researched this quite a bit and this was the best way to do the trip. (I think it cost roughly about €12 all in)
A suitably timed direct bus was quite hard to find
If you require any further info please message me back and I'll be happy to provide same.
Ponte de Lima is a beautiful town to start the Camino - it is just so full of character and history.
My profile pic was taken 10 minutes into my first Camino looking back on the bridge (Ponte) as the sun ws rising.
Envious of your trip - Enjoy !!!
