Both Alsa and Autna buses leave from the Porto Airport for Valenca do Minho. At VdM walk accross the International bridge to Tui. For more on transportation possibilities see www.Rome2Rio.com.

It too bad you can't walk from Porto to Santiago. I have taken the bus from Santiago to Lisbon. Bus or train, your pick. If you're not pressed for time take the bus. You'll have time to see what you missed.
Go on line to check both and see which one will be best for you. Portugal has a very good and efficient bus and rail system. Try to visit the boarder fort in Valenca. It's right by the bridge you will have to cross to get to Spain. Buen Camino.

Happy Trails

The few days' walk before Tui are, I think, the best part of the Camino Portugues. It's a pity you are planning to miss them!
