Question

How far is it from Madrid to Oporto?

Answer 1

Depends very much which route you take.

The shortest is via Gaudarrama tunnel north of Madrid, Valladolid, Salamanca, border crossing at Vilar Formoso, Guarda, towards Aveiro on IP5 and then A1 motorway to Oporto.Centre to centre it is about 556 kms and a toll bill on some of the motorways in Portugal.

Any other route is much longer but also very enjoyable. I sometimes go North towards Coruna, cross over to Zamora and enter Portugal via Braganca and Vila Real to Porto. The scenery is spectacular and you go through the Port wine region to boot.
