Dear Peregrina2000,I thought that Vila Franca would be the best option, since there’s nothing between there and Azambuja. I remember the lovely feeling of crossing the RR tracks in Azambuja and being off asphalt. If memory serves, there is some Roman road right there, but I might be wrong about that.
Alverca, Alhandra, Alpriate, Azambuja, what’s with all the A towns?
So glad to hear all is well.
my name is äly and I am planning to open an albergue on the Portuguese Central. You exactly picked up my thought: my idea was to buy a property in Vila Nova Da Rainha in order to create a stop between Vila Nova Franca da Xira and Azambuja. Do you think pilgrims would appreciate this location for an albergue? Or do you have other places in mind where you consider an albergue would be welcoming for pilgrims?
Looking forward to your reply.
