Bilbao to Porto

We will be in Bilbao this fall and want to travel to Porto. Where would be a good place to stay for a day or two in between. We don't want to fly or drive a car. Looking at the map there are a few connecting cities likeLeon, VAlladolid, Salamanca all with bus and train connections. Would any of these places be interesting stops between Bilbao and porto or are there other options I am not seeing.

I have enjoyed Leon for a day around the old town and churches. It has a morning train departure to Vigo, where your best onward connection might be by bus, rather than a long layover waiting for a train. (I have not investigated all the bus options.) Trains from the other two cities are overnight to Coimbra with a 5:00 a.m. transfer to Porto.
