Many thanks for the advice and warnings. I suspect their system has specific options make pilgrim processing faster. You have to register to get a QR code online now before turning up at the Pilgrims Office. I think the only options I can pick is Camino Portuguese. I will be taking my bike which...
Can you get a Compostela walking the Camino Portuguese Interior? I asked the Pilgrims Office and they said the only valid routes are the Coastal and Central. I could start from Coimbra which is on the Central before going East to Viseu. Thankyou :)

There is relatively so little information about this Camino. I suspect 99% of pilgrims have never even heard of it. I will try other forums as you suggest.
I am lucky that I have a lot of airline miles saved up, so flights and bike on board flight are free. The local bike company gives me a cardboard bike box (free) and I am an Engineer so know how to prep bikes for transport and re-assembly. I looked at the bike hire costs and I put in a relaxed...

Or Perigrina! Many thanks, I could see from the map in the thread exactly where it is planned to be. It actually won't make the route safer (from a road perspective), as the current loop that takes you from Savacem to Alverca is road free too. I will definitely take the new boardwalk route in...
I cycled as far as Ansiao in 2022, but I fell before Tomar and ended up in hospital. I am trying again from Lisbon in September 2023. I know there is a shared use path close to the river between Alhandra and Vila Franca da Xira which I did not know about in 2022. This "diversion takes you away...
