Hi there

....Im starting my camino in Lisbon May 2024- does anybody perhaps know where other pilgrims meet up before actually starting the walk the next day? I am hoping to meet pilgrims walking on the way - similar to Orison where on the 1st day have supper and conversations together?
Please do let me know.
Thank you
Ellen

Unfortunately, there's no place like that in Lisbon. Because it's a big city and not pilgrim focused you do have to put in more effort to connect with other pilgrims.
If you are going around the beginning of May you will see many (mostly Portuguese) pilgrims in large groups going to Fátima in order to arrive on May 13.

Albergues Will be very busy at this time with the Fátima pilgrims, so plan accordingly.
