My husband and I will begin our first Camino in three weeks. To accommodate the time we have available, we would like to start in Rates. We are thinking we could take the train from Porto to Povoa de Varzim where we would then get an Uber to Rates and begin our pilgrimage. I wondered if anyone else has done this and if it seems a reasonable solution given that there isn't any direct transportation from Porto to Rates. Thanks!

...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).

Seems reasonable. The Uber from Povoa to Rates costs only about €10-11.

Last September we walked the boardwalk from Agudela to Vila do Conde as our first day and took a taxi to Rates the following morning to start the Central Route. It worked out fine. The taxi cost €15 I think.
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.

Sounds like you have a good plan.
I have started the Portuguese Central in Barcelos and there are direct trains from Porto. I managed to arrive on market Thursday which was fun.
Bom Caminho.
