Hello fellow pilgrims! There is a new albergue on the Lisbon-Porto stretch, located just 50km south of Porto. Opened now - mid May 2019. This is a donativo with the common meal for the pilgrims in the evening and breakfast in the morning. The hospitaliero there is a local pilgrim whom I met while walking between Santarem to Porto in autumn 2017. I was there last in Jan 2019 when they were busy working on the project. I loved the house and the garden there!
Here is some info for you:
