actually a great post - having walked the Portuguese from Lisbon in 2016 I think there's lots of information out there, but your post reminds me that everything depends on the eye of the beholder.
So, a start could be checking accomodation places - typical go-to-places are

Regarding accomodation, you might benefit from using our list here - there are a lot other good places to sleep than albergues from Lisbon to Porto and just in case you might need them...
As @peregrina2000 writes, Mario is probably the best chance for information. Most guides suggest to do it in one day, but that doesn’t help you much..
Perhaps askimg for the guide for Caminho Nascente at https://www.caminho.com.pt/guias.html could be another way for further information as they...
We walked exactely that route and it took us 23 days - an average of about 31km's per day. We could probably have done it 1-2 days faster, but I had issues with my feet....
You can see all the daily stages at https://wewalk.dk/camino-portuguese/ (sorry, but it's in Danish)
...well....something felt a bit odd and I just checked. Gronze.com is right and my sheet was wrong - the hotel is before the albergue in Alpriate. Check https://www.gronze.com/etapa/lisboa/alpriate
I've updated my sheet accordingly - sorry for the wrong help, but better to rectify than deny...
About 1 -2km from Alpriate there is Póvoa de Santa Iria with a bit expensive hotel (VIP Executive Santa Iria Hotel ) and the Bombeiros Municipais (I havent heard if they do not accept pilrgims - last info I have is that they accept pilgrims)
About 6 km from Alpriate is Verdelha del Baixo with...
We walked the Camino from Lisbon in March 2016 and had no trouble finding accomodation along the route - you might find it difficult if you only want to sleep in albergues, but there's plenty of other places to sleep.
You can see a LOT of the places in our ressource...

Hi Keith,
if you download this one https://www.dropbox.com/s/dp718wb1973rnrp/Camino%20Portugues%20-%20Monacal.ZIP?dl=0
inside you'll find a .kml-file that can be used in maps.me
(here I'm guessing you know how to import the file in maps.me, if you have trouble with it let me know and I'll...
Oh dear, that's a lot of relevant questions, I'll answer short and ....well...from my perspective!
Training?
Yes, always a good idea - we walked up to 20km with our backpacks in the last 4-5 weekends before the camino. Were in good shape before that.
Packing?
Max. 10% of your bodyweight in the...
We walked the same route and had no issues with getting stamps - all albergues, hotels, resedencials and places we slept had stamps and were happy to put one on our credencial
Welcome to the forum!
A great idea - and another way to make it easier is to have the route on your phone as a gps-route using maps.me or viewranger og wikiloc - then you can always consult your phone if you are in doubt wether you're on the right way or not!
It probably also means that you...
Wow! Some really great responses to your questions! With all the care and preparation you are taking for your camino, I'm sure it'll be a great journey.
There is a sheet containing places to sleep at...
I didn't sleep in albergues much, but with the great people here we compiled a list of them - but from Porto to Redondela it is along the coastal route.
In the file linked in...
Hi Hanna - sounds like a great idea :-)
You can see prices in the sheet here https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/resources/all-places-to-sleep-in-one-pdf-route-portugues-route-monacal-coastal.404/ as part of the accomodation list.
My experience was that in most of the...
