AIRPORT TRANSFER

 

There are a couple of airports in Galicia:

  1. Vigo itself has a small one, to get here you usually have to fly over Madrid.
  2. Porto (or Oporto in Spanish) in Portugal is about 1h15min away by car but is rather big and has a lot of international flights.
  3. There is also an airport in Santiago de Compostela, about an hour by car away, where you also fly in mostly over Madrid.
  4. The same for La Coruña, which is about two hours away by car.

Here are some details for each of these airports.
