Another albergue opened relatively recently, this one in Grijo. It's a long slog from Sao Joao de Madeira to Porto, so this will be especially nice for people who don't enjoy 30+ km days.
As I was hunting around for information on this albergue, I saw that once again the information on the ViaLusitana's web page is up to date and all I had to do was look there!
So, though I am happy to update the CSJ guide regularly, I think our first go-to place in checking out the current state of affairs for albergues between Lisbon and Porto should be the ViaLusitana website.

The ViaLusitana is certainly to the Caminho from Lisboa to Porto the equivalent of what Ender is to the Caminho del Salvador. Up to date information, 24/7 SOS pilgrim phone number, indefatigable efforts to encourage more pilgrim accommodations on the Caminho, arrow marking efforts -- I will hazard the opinion that without this group, the Caminho would not have the accommodations and the momentum it now has. Thanks guys, wherever you are! Laurie
