Pontevedra is a walkable Galician city whose granite old town has been car-free for years; it sits on the Camino Portugués and close to the beaches of the Rías Baixas. Book with Zonetransfers and someone is waiting for you on the ground floor of Porto's terminal for the ride to Pontevedra, from €249 for the whole car.
From Porto Airport the transfer crosses into Spain at Tui and takes the AP-9 north; in about 1 h 50 min your driver drops you at the edge of the old town, by the station or in Sanxenxo. The road trip is close to 175 km, over 1 h 50 min, for a vehicle price from €249, set at booking. Zonetransfers assigns your vehicle before you take off.
