What happens when you set this watch
We track every fare from your airport into Porto or Vigo for August 15 to 25, 2027, round trips of 3 to 5 nights, across every airline. The moment one drops, you get one email with the dates, the price and a link to book. Free, and you can stop any time.
Know before you go
- The salt carpets are laid overnight before the Sunday procession; walk the Ribeira streets at dawn to see them intact.
- Rooms in Viana go early; the beach towns north along the coast are a good fallback.
- Porto airport is about an hour by car up the A28; Vigo is a similar distance across the Spanish border.
