Advise Please - Best route to Porto, Portugal
 
ViaMichelin recommends via Leon & Verin.

RAC recommends via Valladolid & Salamanca.


Any suggestions please?


I'm going on business and just need to get to Porto so not interested
in scenery etc.


TIA, Neil

oops!

Most route planners are consistent in how I should get to Burgos,
Spain

So it's just from Burgos i.e.

Burgos > Leon > Verin > Porto
or
Burgos > Valladolid > Salamanca > Viseu > Porto

First, nobody is obligated to answer questions in an open forum like
this one.

Second, given that you left out significant information the first time,
you probably were widely ignored the second time.

Third, from what I've seen, the first choice takes a bit less time than
the second, if conditions are optimal.
