I think the "East Path" would be the one that comes from Faro and they show terminating at Nisa. The reason they don't discuss going any further, is because this whole initiative is based on the "south of the Tagus" funding model and Nisa would be the last eastern town before you hit the Tagus.The Central way and the 19 stages seems to indicate that the planned route for the Faro start will not go to Lisbon but join the Caminho from it in the Golega area. The distance from there to Santiago + the 570km would make the distance from Faro in the 1050- 1100km range.
The one from Faro is already waymarked as far as Almodovar so it would be a starting point for the Central route, the AEJ Faro group have been responsible for that waymarking.think the "East Path" would be the one that comes from Faro and they show terminating at Nisa
What a great article. Thanks! The map is particularly useful.The one from Faro is already waymarked as far as Almodovar so it would be a starting point for the Central route, the AEJ Faro group have been responsible for that waymarking.
Alentejo e Ribatejo preparam os seus Caminhos de Santiago. São 750 km de caminhadas
O projecto turístico assenta em dois grandes caminhos, maioritariamente rurais, ao longo de 30 municípios. O lançamento oficial é em Setembro.www.publico.pt
I think you're correct that the connection for the Central route is at Santarem. Looking at the detailed Google Map, other towns they mention--Foros de Salvaterra, Almeirim and Benevente--are a bit south and on the eastern side of the Tejo (Tagus). I guess they assume pilgrims will cross the Tejo at Santarem. But on the other hand, Cartaxo and Azambuja, both also mentioned in this press release, are on the west side of the Tejo on the main route from Lisbon, so...who knows?That map has the Faro route joining at Santarem, what you have said and what I saw recently( not sure where) seemed to suggest the connection would be around or after Golega.. I don't know the area before it but would it be adversely affected by heat in deepest summer and floods in winter? The area between Santarem and Golega is affected by floods at some times of the year.
