Hi all.
My friend is walking to Santiago from Porto with his two daughters. I understand the current testing requirement might be moot when he travels in May.

Are there any testing facilities at the Porto airport? They’re returning to the States from there, traveling from Santiago by bus or train. In other words their flight will originate in Porto.

If there aren’t any, does anyone have experience with a convenient alternative?

Many thanks
Paul

None yet; perhaps the Portugese (2021?)

I haven't heard of a date that the testing requirement is ending.

Thank you @trecile. I know you are walking there soon, so would have up to date and complete practical information about Portugal. I have told my friend, who is new to the forum, to look for your posts.

Bom Caminho,
Paul

Just flew out of Porto this morning. Synlabs Covid testing is on departure levels. Didn’t check their hours
