Departing Lisbon on March 31st

[Suzanne Holt]

I am planning to start my first Camino in Lisbon on March 31st and am super excited and also a bit nervous. I'm wondering if anyone else is planning to start then too.

At this point, I am intending to arrive late, 3/28 to Lisbon. Not sure if I'll spend any time in the city or just begin from the Cathedral. Have you investigated places to stay near the Cathedral? If so, that would be helpful since I haven't done that search yet. Planning to negotiate coastal route. Thanks, Jim

Suzanne, Greetings from Maine!

There will be several folks pushing off from Lisbon a few days before you based on posts on the Forum. My flight gets in early on the 29th, so I plan to leave from the airport directly. I will be doing a round trip, so will have time to spend in Lisbon after my return. Is your start date absolutely firm?

My flight gets in at 5:30 am on 3/30 and I can't imagine walking 20 miles after flying overnight. I could start a day or so later, but I can't see how I could start any earlier. Maybe our paths will cross later on? Hope you have a great trek!

Absolutely no need to walk 20 miles on your first day out of Lisbon. The albergue in Alpriate is about 21km, less than 15 miles. It’s a great place.

Have you investigated places to stay near the Cathedral?

I know there are several highly rated youth hostels near the Cathedral, but I gave up on those years ago. I just find that the endless party atmosphere means I never get a good sleep. If you’re looking for an inexpensive private room, try Pensao da Prata. It’s a few blocks from the Cathedral, family run, nice people. It’s well located for seeing the sights as well. http://pensao-prata.hotels-lisbon-portugal.com/en/

Looks like there will be a lot of forum meet-ups on the camino out of Lisbon this year.

Hi Jim,

I will start two days ahead of you on March 26th. in the afternoon, so I will have a short walk that day. Another member pocojo is also starting out I think March 29th or 30th. I'm not very fast so I hope to meet up with you all.

I'm leaving Lisbon......May 1st because when I wonder how long I've been walking I just think of the date ....I'm slow so I may take 5 weeks to reach SDC.
