Convento de Cristo - Tomar

St James' Way - Self-guided 4-7 day Walking Packages, Reading to Southampton, 110 kms
Very nice carimbo! (I am pretty sure that's the Portuguese equivalent of "sello." )

For those peregrinos who enjoy visiting historic sites along their Caminos, I would add that Tomar is one of the highlights on the Lisbon-Porto segment. The convent, up above the town, is a wonderful place to visit, and you can see some of the ornate manueline architecture in Helena's link.

And there are other great historic places as well on the camino south of Porto -- Coimbra is the obvious one, with its ancient university, cathedral and old town, but there's also Conimbriga's Roman ruins (about a km or two off the route and well worth a visit), the Roman villa at Rabacal, the ruined royal estate at Cardiga, and the gothic churches in Santarem. And probably a few more places I'm forgetting!

I would like to walk the river route in Tui next month. I can see on google maps exactly where it starts, but it seems a bit overgrown. Has anybody used this route this year or last year...
Hello, my friend of 50+ years and I are on our first Camino walk. We are looking for: 1) safe, comfortable hostels in Lisbon; 2) stages from Lisbon to Porto (via Tomar) in about 16 days...
Hi I have searched everywhere to see if there is a luggage service from Lisbon to Porto. I know there is from Porto to Santiago, but Lisbon ???. Thanks for any info.
