    Accommodation options on the Camino Portuguese: To book or not to book?

    If you’re walking the Portuguese in late April / early May, you should be cognizant of the Festival of Fatima which occurs on 11 May. ALL accommodations approaching Fatima will have pre-booked large church groups that pilgrimage to Fatima and that will reduce the available beds. It’s important...

    List public Albergues Central route/starting in Lisbon

Yes, there are hotels, apartments, etc., along the northern exit routes out of Lisbon, BUT, there are no Albergues until Alverca do Ribatejo, unless...

    List public Albergues Central route/starting in Lisbon

    Camino portuguese

    I’m starting the CP on 26 April and was planning to stop in Alpriate also. But research on GRONZE confirms that the albergue in Alpriate is closed. An alternative is to stray 4.4 km off of the path and stay in Santa Iris de Azoia. However, the distance from the Camino to SIA and return the next...
