    From Cabo de São Vicente using Rota de Vicentina facilities

    Well, it took me 19 days to reach Santiago from Lisboa. Up to Golegã, it was really boring walking amongst corn and tomatoes fields. After it was more pleasant but, there is a lot of asphalt and cobblestones and in September, it was hot! Up to Porto, you will see few peregrinos. Then more and...

    From Cabo de São Vicente using Rota de Vicentina facilities

    Day 9 I tested for you: Setúbal -> Montijo -> Lisboa Well, I finally made a choice! Montijo center was only 24 km far from my location in Setubal. The Boat Terminal is 3km far from city center of Montijo. So I only had to walk 27 km to reach Lisboa after a 13 km long boat travel to cross the...

    From Cabo de São Vicente using Rota de Vicentina facilities

    Yes, I know this one and can read it (I'm Belgian, french speaking but can read nederlands). I found that distances are sometimes to be corrected. I follow the same shortest way, it seems but Rota Vicentina has been created in 2012 and he walked that way in 2009. So he mainly hitted roads

    From Cabo de São Vicente using Rota de Vicentina facilities

    Day 8 Well, some information again From Carvahal to Comporta, you will walk 8 km. After that and up to the point of embarcation (I should verify whether this word exists) there is a mere 13 km as it is situated 4 km before Troia, in Soltroia. So, 21 km to this point and please note that from...

    From Cabo de São Vicente using Rota de Vicentina facilities

    I didn't find an alternative way. Rota Vicentina ends in Santiago do Cacem. I only found a non paved road from Santo André to milestone 34 (Carvalhas is near milestone 8) so it seems you would have to walk on asphalt for 26 km .

    From Cabo de São Vicente using Rota de Vicentina facilities

    Day 7 I walked from Santo André to Carvalhal through Melides. Santo André -> Melides: about 14/15 km (from Bombeiros station) Melides -> Carvalhas: about 20 km So a total of 34/35 km. I started at 7:30 and arrived in Melides by about 11:00. I found a bed and breakfast there: Maria Mar...

    From Cabo de São Vicente using Rota de Vicentina facilities

    Yes, I will walk on N261 from here (Santo André), through Melides, Torroal, Comporta to Troia and take a ferry to Setubal. The problem is that accommodations are difficult to find. For example, the Pensõa A Toca do Grillo in Carvalhal seems to be full. So, tommorow, I may be will reach...

    From Cabo de São Vicente using Rota de Vicentina facilities

    Yesterday I bought a 1/600000 map to have an idea of how to reach Lisboa. I also requested my phone navigator to find a way ... It proposed me to reach Setubal, indeed and from there to walk to Barreiro and take a ferry to Lisboa, which is (dixit the phone) a 40 km walk that could be made in...

    From Cabo de São Vicente using Rota de Vicentina facilities

    Day 6 Sines to Santo André is a 16 km walk. When you look at the 1/55000 map, you see nothing but a highway. In Sines, 2 lanes are painted, one in green and one in red. I supposed that it was the same up to Santo André and took a non paved road through Cadaveira which gave me 5 km of quietness...

    From Cabo de São Vicente using Rota de Vicentina facilities

    Day 5 Well... I told you yesterday the best option was to stop in Vila Nova de Milfontes. The idea was to spend a night there then to walk to Sines (and probably to reach Santo André the day after but this part is to be confirmed as I don't have a map to look at). If you know the day you will...

    From Cabo de São Vicente using Rota de Vicentina facilities

    Day 4 I was in Almograve by 1.30 pm. There is few accommodations here so I was happy to get a room (Isa, restaurant/rooms, 30 Eur with shower and wifi) If I had to do this leg again, I would take the Fishermen Trail again but I would step out of it in Cavaleiro and take the road to Vila Nova de...

    From Cabo de São Vicente using Rota de Vicentina facilities

    Day 3, I just arrived in Zambujeira do Mar. 2 reommanded steps: Aljezur-Odeceixe (18km) Odeceixe-Zambujeira (18km) I decided to combine them ... From Aljezur, I took the road 120 to Rogil where I wanted to have a breakfast. It's about 6 km but there is quite no gain in distance (1km) so I...

    From Cabo de São Vicente using Rota de Vicentina facilities

    First impressions of Rota Vincentina way to reach Lisboa from Faro - Lagos - Sagres or Cabo de São Vicente as a pilgrim. 12 sections of about 20 km to reach Santiago do Cacem or Porto Covo. Accommodation is available at the end of each section. So, you can combine two sections for larger legs...

    Starting Portuguese in Lisbon Sept. 1, 2015

    The Cabo de Sao Vicente is attracting me ... It seems the Rota Vicentina (part of GR11) could be used to reach Santiago do Cacem. And from there to Lisbon, it's about 100 km to include the use of a ferry. Does anybody have information to share about this?
