We had the same experience at the same bridge last year May so I think nothing has changed there in the meantime.Left Lisbon a two days ago and encountered some problems outside of Sacravém! At one point a part if the path acting as a bridge over a small creek, outlet (don't really know what to call it) had collapsed and left me climbing over rubble. Was ok for me since I'm young and kind of fit but it was still a bit unnerving. Further on the road was flooded on and off. At one point I had to ford (English is not my native you he so I can't think if a better word right now) the camino for about 2km. The path between Sacravém and Póvoa de Santa Iria is very muddy, full of deep puddles and at some places flooded! So take great care and have a great camino!
A day and a half and you will start to climb. After Golegã and Vila Nova Barquinha you will keep your feet dryAnother warning. The path between Azambuja and Santarém is also very flooded. I took the N-3 yesterday so I was fine. (Stopped for coffee at Casa das Peles just before Cartaxo and they were so nice and so happy to see a pilgrim that they treated meSuch kindness!) Decided to take a rest day in Santarém and met a fellow pilgrim that had started of from Azambuja in the morning but had to turn back because of the flooding. I am concerned about the rest of the Camino but I choose not to worry. Things just have a way to work themselves out and I've found that the Camino provides. One way or another!
Hi. I am a few days in Front of you. Today in coimbra. On the 22.11. I left tomar and between tomar and Ponte peniche i walked on brierlys green way (marked with a sun Symbol where the ways split) without problems.
Yesterday after ansios football Stadium a lady recommended me not to follow the official way due to flooding and to follow the road to my left, which seems to be the old way, because after 200m i found yellow arrows. If you need GPS koordinates, tell me. Enjoy your way. In golega solo Euro was nice and in tomar hostel 2300. Greetings to the owner oft santarem hostel. Stef
I do not dare dear LaurieSo, Albertinho, are you saying that the bridge in my picture hasn't collapsed? I thought that was the bridge of Marnel and I also thought a part of it had collapsed. There are too many bridges on the Caminho to keep track of!
No Laurie I have never researched this item but will do.Thanks,Albertinho, good to know that as others have pointed out, the Roman/medieval bridges seem to have a longer life span than some of the more modern construction! Any news on repairs? Laurie
