Arrived from Merida by bus having walked up from Cordoba( started in Granada last year)
Stayed at Hostel Goodnight for three nights, 12 euros a night including good breakfast a warm welcome and very friendly people.Lisbon was sunny but a biting strong cold north wind.Did the sights and leaving pack at hostel walked up to Vilafranca using metro and train to get back and forth. Azambuja being the first place to stay at Residencial Flor da Primavera 20 euros, a good meal to be had next door at O Forno. A couple of kms out of Azambuja the camino turns left off the road along a track that becomes impassable because of water and mud, returning to the road follow as it snakes around untill Santiago and Fatima markers appear again.At Santarem stayed at Hotel Vitoria which a bit old fashioned for 25 euros you get a good buffet breakfast and wifi.on the way to Golega found myself in Pombalinho off the camino, but with the first Camino Santiago road sign in Portuguese,French and English, treacherous stretch from Azinghaga to Golega, stayed at municipal campsite in an apartment for 24.42 euros. Pleasant days walk, well signposted through wood but last kilometre to Tomar was again dangerous road walking. Just before turning down on to the N110 freshly painted arrows started going up the hill away from Tomar sign , maybe that was a quieter way but didn't feel right. In Tomar staying at Pensao Uniao, 30 euros
