Alsa bus to Porto online?

[Deanpf]

hi
Was just about to book my bus ticket from santiago to Porto online but wondered if anyone has had any issues with that? I'm in santiago now but leaving for finisterre tomorrow morning and didn't want to waste my day going to the bus station.
I leave for Porto on Thursday so want to book my bus.
Thanks for any advice

You may be able to book your bus to Porto within the new Pilgrim office in Santiago. Wherever you do book it you will need to show your national passport.

Good luck and Bom caminho!

Thanks. I actually bought it online and all seems to have gone through well. Printed the ticket and will go a bit early.
Off to finisterre.
Thanks

Deanpf, what bus company is it? Direct route?

what bus company is it? Direct route?

I'm not @Deanpf but I can answer those ones. The bus company is Alsa: www.alsa.es/en The route is direct (i.e.: no change of buses along the route) but it isn't non-stop because the bus makes stops along the route.

I took this bus last September and had no problems. It is the best way to get from Santiago to Porto since the train involves changes and the connections are not good.
