Hi,
For me it's better to take a plane in Porto, so I take Alsa Bus at la Estacion de Autobuses. In Porto bus stop at the Airport and Casa da Musica. I buy my ticket near the Oficina del peregrino, Rua Carretas ; there's a special offer with Pilgrim passport, but it's not open all year long. Many buses by day.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
Train is also an option if you prefer
 
Train is about 36 euros and a 4hr trip. Very easy and the buses are comfortable. It pays to book your ticket a few days in advance. I tried one day out at the Santiago train station and the bus I wanted was full. Luckily there was a later one that day but the route took a bit longer.

Sorry I meant bus and bus station, not train😳

The easiest is the Alsa bus. Get on the bus at Santiago bus station at 12:00, get off at Casa Musica metro station in Porto at 15:15. Runs daily, but book ahead in peak season as usually full.
