I think you walked the central not the interior; the interior is a completely separate route.She has a choice of routes, interior, spiritual and coastal. I walked the interior and it was beautiful, not too hard at all, but there is alot of road walking.
Stay with the bombos/fire brigade if necessary.Hi,
My daughter has been walking from Porto to Fátima and is having albergue issues. I’m seeing there are issues with the Fátima Camino as a whole. Should I suggest she turn around and go north instead? She walked from SJPP to Muxía last fall but she says she has seen literally no one. She is 20 and loves the Camino.
The albergues between Porto and Fátima are the same as between Fátima and Porto on the Caminho de Santiago. Take a look at gronze.com or albergues.vialusitana.org
There are blue arrows pointing the way to Fátima.
Very few pilgrims, yes, very few. Unless you walk beginning of May or beginning of October, very few pilgrims going from Porto to Fatima. But that is not an Albergue issue, I think.
She stayed in Agueda and then Anadia and next will be Coimbra. Thank you for your link!I walked the same route from Porto to Fatima in Oct of 2017 - arrived in Fatima for the centennial celebration Oct 13th. Even with such an important day and celebration I didn't find very many pilgrims walking to Fatima so I imagine its never really crowded with pilgrims going in that direction to Fatima vs the other direction to Santiago. That being said I loved this pilgrimage, it started off a little rough with seemingly more street walking vs natural paths but that seemed to change as the days went on. Also went through some really cool cities like Agueda, Coimbra before reaching Fatima. At first I was comparing it to CF, but somewhere along the way it took on a life of its own and became its own unique camino for me that I very much enjoyed. Feel free to look at my travel blog I kept of Fatima and my CF or pass the link on to your daughter maybe it will help her in some way-

Good point. The issue was /is that there were towns bullet pointed on her route that had no albergue or place to sleep and often the places are word of mouth and unmarked, such as in Anadia. The area from Alvaiazere to Fatima the information is scarce. There is an albergue in FUNGALVAZ for 5 euros a night but no markings or address. It’s an adventure for sure. I told her when she has finished this leg of her journey she should write up where she stayed and how to find the albergues. :$She stayed in Agueda and then Anadia and next will be Coimbra. Thank you for your link!
Do you remember the name of the albergue near the shrine? ThanksI didn't stay in Rabacal/Alvorge, after Coimbra my next days were:
1) Conimbriga - Albergue de Conimbriga - Albergue was behind the house of the owners, very nice family and very nice Albergue - was brand new albergue. https://www.facebook.com/Albergue-de-Conímbriga-2383958958511857/
2) Ansiao - https://www.adegatipicadeansiao.com/precos.html - I believe this is a hotel/restaurant but they do have Albergue also for pilgrims and I stayed in albergue
3) Caxarias - stayed at an Airbnb - not directly on camino but very close. Luzia is the owner and she is very nice and accommodating to whatever you need.
4) Fatima - stayed at Albergue right near the Shrine - wasn't the nicest of albergues but it was so convenient as I was there for the centennial celebration and there was sooo many people and prices were so high to stay anywhere - this was donativo for pilgrims with credentials....
Sorry I don't see anything in my blog or pictures with the name of the albergue near the shrine. I do have one picture but all it is of the room and bedsDo you remember the name of the albergue near the shrine? Thanks
