I plan to walk the Camino Portuguese in Sept 2024, from Lisbon to Santiago. I am using John Brierley's guide to plan my pilgrimage. His first seven stages are over 30 KM each. I am over 73 and have completed the French Way and thru hiked the AT. I usually start my walks with a short day, so I hope to walk from the Lisbon Cathedral Se to Oriente, about 10 KM, the first day. My questions are:
1. How was it walking 30 KM to Alverca do Ribatejo? It looks flat so I may be able to do it in 10 to 12 hours.
2. If I stay in Oriente/Moscavide, is the Pousaada de Juventude a good place to stay or would I be too old? I have no problems with staying in Albergues but this is more of a general youth hostel.
3. Is there any other accommodations in Oriente/Moscavide that you can recommend?
4. Or is taking the train from Oriente to Alverca do Ribatejo just the best alternative? This is suggested by the Wise Pilgrim app.
Any insights you can give me are greatly appreciated. Buen Camino!
