[QUOTE="Albertinho, post: 257041, member: 22438"] In addition to what Claudia writes(aka [USER=22497]@amorfati1[/USER]) . Unfortunately in Portugal there are only privat hostals and albergues. So you have to count on somewhat higher costs per day. The network of albergues between Lisbon and Porto has been improved significantly since you have been there but being said this they are privat.But for the average pilgrim they offer great services a.o.pickup service . More Bombeiros Volontarios in Portugal refuse lodging pilgrims because it does not belong to their "core bussiness" . However last year May we slept for 5€ at the Bombeiros in Tomar. Maybe they still do. We were there last May as tourists but did not see any sign of pilgrims when we had a look On the other hand there still are some places where you can stay for very few money On the Lisbon to Porto leg in Cernache just before Coimbra is a school which do lodge pilgrims during weekdays for free ! Bunkbeds, hot showers, restaurant voor diner and breakfast opposite the gate of the school. Just beyond Alberaría -a-Velha is a retraîthouse-kind of sanctuary Casa Diocesana where nuns lodge you including meals, bunkbeds ,showers for about 3€ per person per night. From Porto to Santiago beyond Barcelos is Casa da Fernanda -donativo- but you get a bed ,a meal and a breakfast, hot showers and a cosy time being together with others. The real caminho spirit. When you read back on this forum you will read about the places I mentioned with phonenumbers etc. My wife and I could buy single yoghurts , cans of drinks salats etc in supermarkets everywhere so there is no need to buy sixpacks and such. there are markets for fruits etc. we both are pensionados and never felt desperate about finding lodging and food and drinks. Walking through Portugal costs a little bit more than in Spain but the costs of living are lower, the food is cheaper so the average of staying there is reasonable. And we love the Portugese people. Bom caminho [/QUOTE]
