I agree. Here is the website.Have you looked on gronze? It's a good resourse and usually up to date.

Thank you
If you can the walk from Alhandra to Villa Franca de Xira the DP Apartments & Suites hostel/albergue is really good.Hi everyone

Alverca is about a 31 km day, if I did my addition correctly, so that’s a pretty hefty first day. Where did you start, @paddyjv?I found a nice place to stay called Silvina ferreira guesthouse for €25 nice place and staff very helpful
I started at the cathedral in lisbon.I was on my way to Alhandra i had one hour of walking left to get there had to back track abit to get to my guesthouse to restAlverca is about a 31 km day, if I did my addition correctly, so that’s a pretty hefty first day. Where did you start, @paddyjv?
I’m glad your legs didn’t wait till Alhandra to give out or you would have been in trouble.
Thanks Gerard for the info.Hi Paddy .... Fair play to you for doing your first Camino at times like these and at this time of the year.
I'm on a bike, in Tomar, so I've just travelled along the route you'll be following so I hope I can give you a few tips.
Things get easier after you're out of the Lisbon sprawl. I took the train to Azambuja (great hostel) and went to Santarem, Golega and today Tomar. Great hostels in all. Don't pay more than 20 max.
Use Gronze.com to find albergues and to plan your route. Don't deviate from it. Phone hostels in advance to check they're open. Use booking.com to reserve.
The hostels are all checking Covid Vax certs, I assume you have one.
Don't push yourself. If you feel pain or tiredness just get a bus or train to the next town. Of course you want to walk all the way but your feet come first.
You won't meet any pilgrims and you'll have the hostel to yoursel, enjoy it. It's lovely country. You can take a bus to Fatima for the day from Tomar, but don't leave the gronze route, it has the arrows and the hostels. Get a dayglo jacket from a Chinese shop for the road bits.
Finally, download Outdoor Active. This app is free and has precise maps of the Camino route, which work off-line.
Buen Camino amigo agus go
