Re: INFO PLEASE: Camino Portugal- routes starting LAGOS or from
Hi, Christine,
My impression is that there is little signage, and that there are no real trails/paths, rather it is all on the shoulder of the highway. This may be changing though, with the increased interest in the Caminho Portugues, so what you might do is contact one of the members of the Via Lusitana (the Lisbon based caminho association), who may have more updated information for you.
Their website is http://www.vialusitana.org/
On the right side of the home page there are email addresses with flags corresponding to the languages spoken by the members.
I was once in a Santiago church in a town called Santiago do Cacem, south of Lisbon. Seems pretty clear that the Caminho must have gone through there, but no one working in the church or in the local museum had ever heard of it. That was about 4 or 5 years ago, though, so maybe things have changed.
Report back if you do this walk, please! Bom caminho, Laurie
