Taxi was the best way to go around in and into Varzim, and to our close-by-hotel. Not that expensive, although not that cheap either. For going in 10 minutes by taxi we paid 6-7 euro, and then for going with taxi to Porto we paid between 30 and 40 euro, depending on how lucky you were finding the right taxi-driverýK
Most of them tried to milk some extra euro out of us, saying that it costed extra with the toll on the highway, tax wasnýýt included or just giving us a circa-price at the beginning of the trip ýýwell, somewhere between 35 and 40 euroýý. For some reason it always ended in the higher price, and you could not say anything about itýK
On the positive side I must say that all the drivers were really friendly. Not many of them could speak English, but that didnýýt stopped themýK They talked in portugese instead, and then assumed that we understoodýK ýý For me it went quite well, since I could put in some words in Italian now and then, so we both understood sooner or later. Worse for my friends, who just had Swedish and English to rely onýK

There went local buses from Santo Andrý, where our hotel was, to Povoa De Varzim, and from there to Porto. The price were low, but the trip took quite long time. So we decided it was worth to pay a taxi instead. But if youýre alone, and have enough time, havenýt problem traveling with a warm bus etc etc, you should take the bus. Price Povoa De Varzim-Porto one-way circa 4-5 euro.
The buses seemed to go quite often, but stopped on many places during the trip...
