Porto to spain & Cigarettes
Posted: Sun August 24, 2008 09:20 PM UTC

I have just booked very cheap fights to porto with the intention of getting some cheap cigarettes - can anyone tell me the price for 200 lambert and butler?

I have a feeling they would be slightly cheaper in spain - is there a way i can get a train from porto to the nearest point in spain - is it wasy to cross the border - and how long is the journey and roughly how much does it cost.

Only in porto for 2 days but any tips appriciated.

Book fligthts to get cigarretes?? Well...I think Porto is a charming little town with lots of thinks to see.
Enjoy the views of River Douro, and have fun.
By the way, the nearest Spanish border is Valença, 116 Km to the North...

No idea of cost but you would have to take a train going to Vigo or Santiago de Compostela, e.g. to the latter, departing Porto (Campanha) at 07:55, and stopping at Valenca, just across the border, at 10:15, so 2h20 mins. Return trips, on weekdays, at 11:02, 14:11, 15:04 (but taking over 4 hours with 2 changes), 17:44 etc.

200 L&B will I think be around €38.50 in Porto or anywhere else in Portugal; the price is the same everywhere including the airport.

It's not really worth a 200 mile round trip, more than 2 hours each way (it is a miserably slow train that visits many places) that will cost you around 20 Euros. Take your time to enjoy Porto and save your cash.
