Miles2go,

It is helpful to book your Alsa bus to Portugal at least the day before you wish to travel. You can do this at the Alsa booth in the SdC bus station. Be prepared to show your national passport and pay in cash when you book.

Bom caminho!

Glad to learn that Alsa has a booth at the Pilgrim Office during the season. Last December that booth did not exist hence my visit to the SdC bus station to reserve and purchase a ticket. Although the weather was cold with icy vegetation to begin all went well on route.
