A fast train from Madrid to Porto? We don't even have a slow train, let alone a fast train ahahaLeaving September 10th. I am looking for information on either a fast train from Madrid to Porto. Or a plane that might go directly from Madrid to Porto. Anyone having experience with either of these options? Thank you!
Thank you!A fast train from Madrid to Porto? We don't even have a slow train, let alone a fast train ahaha
You can either fly or take a bus.
Rome2Rio.com will show you your options.
Why are you flying into Madrid if you’re heading for Porto? The old country bumpkin response “ If I were going there I wouldn’t start from ‘ere.” always applies. Even to international travel.Leaving September 10th. I am looking for information on either a fast train from Madrid to Porto. Or a plane that might go directly from Madrid to Porto.

Tincatinker, I am a NOVICE travel planner. I do not really know what I am doing I am reading forums and Facebook Pages and..... You sound as if you have a great deal more experience than I so I would humbly ask how you would fly from Oklahoma City, OK to begin a Portuguese Costal walk? Also, I have read of a boat ride that is on this path bur not a lot of detail on where it is etc. the American Airlines representative told me this was a good route. So....thank you for whatever advice you might feel inclined to share.Why are you flying into Madrid if you’re heading for Porto?

That said, plenty of flights or a relaxing train trip. Pilgrim does as Pilgrim does - the rest is just stuff
Thank you trecile. I will follow your link.I'm seeing nonstop flights from Madrid to Porto on both the 11th and 12th of September that take about an hour and fifteen minutes.
The fastest train option is over 7.5 hours.

I only put that route on hold. What route do you recommend and I will call airline back. Thank you very much for your help!Ah, it sounds like you would have benefitted from finding this forum earlier to ask questions like "what's the best airport to fly to for the Portuguese Camino?"
But you are here now, with tickets to Madrid, so we will help you as best we can to get to Porto to start your Camino.
As far as your other questions go - boat ride and so on, check out the Camino Portuguese subforums.
Central route
Coastal route
The Portuguese Camino has several options - central, coastal, spiritual variant, etc., so it can be more confusing than the Camino Francés and other Camino routes.
There are several good sites that explain the options. Here are a couple:

Pilgrimage Traveler
You should go to a site like google flights. Use Porto as your destination, and you will see the options from your home. Many international flights arrive in Porto.I only put that route on hold. What route do you recommend and I will call airline back. Thank you very much for your help!
Thank you. I will look at that route!Since you are close to Dallas, one option is to fly out of DFW to Newark and connect with TAP's direct flight to Porto
Thank you peregrina2000, I don’t use Google and so did not know of this option. I will check into it. I appreciate all advice!You should go to a site like google flights. Use Porto as your destination, and you will see the options from your home. Many international flights arrive in Porto.
The good thing about sites like google flights is that they will search for all the available flights and then send you directly to the airline to purchase the ticket. They are not third party brokers. Most people on the forum recommend booking directly with the airlines because of the many snafus that have been reported by those who used expedia, orbitz, priceline, etc, when there are delays or cancellations.
Hello, I am doing the same as you on Sept 24th because it is easier/cheaper to get to Madrid even from Seattle. I am flying Iberia into Porto from Madrid and the fare was very reasonable. Even the connection time matched easily and gets me to Porto by noon. Bom CaminhoLeaving September 10th. I am looking for information on either a fast train from Madrid to Porto. Or a plane that might go directly from Madrid to Porto. Anyone having experience with either of these options? Thank you!
Hello, my name is Robert, I did the Camino Portuguese from Lisbon to Santiago in April and I am currently doing the Madrid to Santiago. I flew from Miami to Lisbon although I started in Lisbon, there is a train from Lisbon to Porto, which is pretty much a great alternative, it takes about 3 hours give or take and costs about $40Leaving September 10th.

In that case, quick pro tip: when traveling in Europe between larger cities, it's good to keep in mind the possibility of low-cost airlines. Even if there's a high-speed train connection, then a flight on something like RyanAir may be much cheaper. (A common example would be Santiago de Compostela -> Madrid.)I do not really know what I am doing I am reading forums and Facebook Pages
Thank you Krystianw! I will check RyanAir!In that case, quick pro tip: when traveling in Europe between larger cities, it's good to keep in mind the possibility of low-cost airlines.

When I had to get back from SdC to Malaga (city on the south coast of Spain) last year, it was cheaper and faster for me to buy a last-minute plane ticket than take the train. Which is pretty crazy if you think about it.
