I am so excited to start my journey! I am flying from JFK NYC on June 28 and flying into Madrid. How do I get from the airport to Ponte De Lima??!! I am 26 female and its a bit intimidating travelling alone so I need all the help I can get.
so my questions are........
how do I get from Madrid to Porte De Lima?
&
how do I get from Santiago to Madrid?

Many thanks in advance

Madrid to Porto would be cheaper and quicker - look you can even fly for 40euros http://www.rumbo.com/flights/cheap/MADOPO/madrid-porto/
Do you have time to walk from Porto?

Hi.
Check skyscanner, expedia and other such services for alternatives.
Flights from NYC-JFK to Porto will give routes via Madrid but also Milan and other places. You can also check alternatives from for example Newark.

Whatever option you take to cross the Atlantic, to get to Ponte de Lima your best way is to land in Porto.
If you have 8-10 days available for walking then you can start there (depending on your fitness level).

From Santiago, train or flight. If booked in advance flight is best option.
