Make a note in your guidebook. JUST IN CASE you forget/lose some equipment, I found a camping supply store near the Camino while still in Lisbon. It's YUPIK Loja Desporto Aventura on Avenida Infante Dom Henrique. It's north of the Tile museum. The best I can tell from JB's map is it's near (just south of??) 2.3km Praca D.L da Silva. Maybe near a bus terminal do Beato??? Looks like an REI type of store. Just in case...

Thanks for this notice, Steve. The store has been highly anticipated, according to some outdoorsy friends of mine in Lisbon. It is on the pricey side, not cheap like Decathlon.

Albertinho.... the website says it's located in an old Fonseca warehouse. This isn't OUR Fonseca warehouse is it???

Yes Laurie. The picture of the t building with the arched entrance I sent you once was from Pedro Fonseca and was at the Praça David Leandro da Silva ,a square with lots of green,flowers and a kind of cafē and public toilets and the waymarkers were there. The Yupik entrance seems to be at the side or backside.
It is between the Orient station and the parque das Naçaoes, about half a mile past the tile museum.

Fonseca must have several buildings in the area, because the picture on the website doesn't look like the same round- arched building on the square. http://www.yupik.com.pt/noticias/nova-yupik-abre-as-suas-portas/463/

If you look at google earth you see the square Laurie where the arched entrance is from the picture I sent you but the premisses spread out to the dockside at the other side so probably their new entrance is at the dockside because on their webside the write about an address with something "dock "
Fonseca used to have a lot of work space
