Hi, walking the Camino Portuguese starting Lisbon 15 March 2022. Struggling to get confirmation that the albergue in Azambuja is/will be open then.

@camino.ninja would be a good person to ask.
I see on Gronze that reservations are required, and mentions that there are also pensiones and a hotel there.

Having said that, it's always been closed when I've been through! (Three times)
I've always stayed at the Ouro Hotel:

Hi @trecile and @Walkingboy ,

The albergue in Azambuja is supposed to to open on March 15. I know José Luis who runs the albergue in both Alpriate and Azambuja had problems getting volunteers last year because of travel restrictions for the volunteers who were supposed to stay there. But if that is fixed he is supposed to open March 15 2022.

Until March 1, and longer if the pandemic continues, you can see what is open on https://camino.love/lisboa - and the Camino Ninja App is updated all year round on what is open and closed on the Camino Francés and the Caminhos Português.

@trecile "Admite reserva" just means "Accepts reservations"

Yes, I know. But under "observaciones" it says "reserva obligitaria"

Hi @trecile and @Walkingboy ,

I asked Jose Luis and he said reservation by phone or WhatsApp (+351914103807) is reccommended, but not required.

He says the best option is to do it 2-4 days in advance.

It's a new albergue. The municipal closed last year and Jose Luis who has the albergue in Alpriate opened an albergue next door to the old municipal with the same name.
