Getting here coach service website www.rede-expressos.pt
Please Note: You can only book the coach two weeks in advance.
Lisbon
The best way is to fly into Lisbon and then either take a coach or a taxi (ask at tourist info in the airport if getting the bus) to the sete rios terminal where you can catch the rede expressos coach to Oleiros. We then come and pick you up.
Porto
If flying into Porto then the journey is 2 hours longer as you have stop offs.
Rede Expressos buses leave from Garagem Atlantico, R. de Alexandre Herculano, Porto, 4000 Portugal. This is close to Campanha Station
We are in the middle of Lisbon and Porto near the Spanish boarder.
Have a safe journey
