Walk over the border to Valença bus station and take the bus?

Note that it’s a couple of euros more to Porto airport than to Porto (which is fractionally further) because of the airport charge. Don’t be tempted to cheapskate it - the bus drivers segregate the luggage.

Planning my next walk from Tui to SdC (I am taking my two grandsons who have a spare week at Easter)
I discovered that, because Valenca, (across the river from Tui) is in Portugal, the transport links are that much better.

Have a look at rail links. I found them much more frequent than the routes into Spain

And as @peregrina2000 confirmed on another thread; don’t forget the hour time difference between Spain and Portugal. It’s rare that one crosses a time-zone on foot; but when you cross between Tui and Valença - especially to catch a bus - it’s important.

Took the bus from Valença back to Porto a few weeks ago because the daily rail strike was too unpredictable. Even if your bus doesn’t go to the airport, the terminal is at the metro stop and it’s about a 25-min trip from there. Note: the Rede bus in Valença only took cash for the ticket. And some trips do a 30 min side run to Parades de Coura en route.
