I know I may be sounding like a broken record, but the Via Lusitana is one terrific group with a lot of information for pilgrims on the Camino Portugues, especially for the part south of Porto where the information is spottier.
Here's one example -- a list of accommodations: http://www.vialusitana.org/caminho-portugues/albergues/ All of the voluntary firefighters are listed with addresses and numbers.
And I want to highlight, if you look at the list, you will see that a private albergue has opened very close to Mealhada. It's in the neighboring town/village of Sernadelo, right on the Camino
Private Albergue – 12,50€ – 12 places
Estrada Nacional 1, Avenida da Restauração, 30 – Sernadelo
3050-347 Mealhada
Contactos: D. Isabel / Nuno Canilho Tel: 916-191-721
And just for purposes of disseminating this phone number as much as possible, I thought I'd repeat that the Via Lusitana staffs a SOS pilgrims phone line, every day, any time. Help given in English, French, and German.
(+351) 915 595 213
Looks like the pilrgrim infrastructure south of Porto is starting to improve quite a bit. Laurie
