Travelling to Caminha from Santiago

Hi,

I need to travel to Caminha from Santiago and trying to figure out the bet way to get there. Looks like there are no direct buses to Caminha but I can get a Alsa bus to Valenca from Santiago. Does anyone know if there is a local bus that might run between Valenca and Caminha?
If not I might just have to take a taxi, any idea on how much that might cost me? I think its about a 30K drive.
Appreciate the Feedback, Regards Brian

hi, there is a train from Valença to Caminha that leaves several times a day and is very inexpensive.
Less than €27 at 11pm (i.e. now) with Uber, possibly cheaper at a more reasonable hour:

hi there is a train from Balença to Vaminha several times a day; it’s quick and inexpensive. In May I took the bus from Santiago to Balença, spent the night, and caught a morning train to Caminha. Very easy! Buen camino! (sorry about typos to Valença:)
 
Very light, comfortable and compressible poncho. Specially designed for protection against water for any activity.

Our Atmospheric H30 poncho offers lightness and waterproofness. Easily compressible and made with our Waterproof fabric, its heat-sealed interior seams guarantee its waterproofness. Includes carrying bag.

€60,-
Are you walking from Caminho to SdC? If so, why not start in A Guarda and skip the ferry. There is frequent bus service to A Guarda (and Tui also) from Vigo. You can find the schedule here...


There's bus and train service to Vigo from SdC. and direct from Madrid-Chamartin.

The coastal route is beautiful. Whichever way you go, have a buen Camino

Thanks for info. I've already walked that route before so this time I would like to head inland and come up through Tui. Regards Brian
