Anyone starting from Lisbon 8th of March?

Hope you do this camino. Very hard and lonely camino. I did it from oporto last summer and fellows who come from lisbon told me thers a no pelgrins on the road, so in winter times could be nobody on the way. God may help tou and give you courage to do that and when you pass near by Grijo, near Oporto maybe we can take a litle rime for a good portuguese cofee.

I will be about four days behind you, SZ. If your plans change and you end up starting a little later, let me know.

You guys are all just a few days too early to enjoy the new albergue in Alpriate, 20 km from the cathedral. It opens this year on March 15!

Yes, I was disappointed to see I'd miss out on that--by one day, no less. I plan to just go to Sacavem that first day, anyway, as my hubby wanted to join me for part of this and was not keen on hauling himself 20+ miles to the first town.

Sissel, how many days are you scheduling to make the walk from Lisbon to Santiago?

 

[Sissel Zafira]

Good travelling all,

Hello

Hi, Sissel,

So glad to hear you are on your way!

If you stay at Santarem Hostel in Santarem, Mario will give you lots of suggestions and help. He is in touch with people up and down the camino and is a great guy. I hear that meals are also quite good there, but I think that's because of his wife, though I could be wrong. And everyone who stays there loves it as well! You can contact him via his facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/Santarém-Hostel-424875300939252/

If you do say there, tell him all his forum friends say hi!
