I have tried to read through a few posts on this topic so that I do not annoyingly repeat questions already asked/answered..I will do my best.
My husband and I are leaving out of Lisbon on August 31st.
I understand that the new route should be finished by then.
Based on what I have read, many people pre-book their accommodations at least for the first few days. Not knowing the route, I am not sure where to spend the first night. The Brierley Book suggests Day 1 walking to Alverca do Ribatejo but I am a bit nervous about such a long first day walk.
Gronze still suggests Alpriate which seems much more doable day 1 but does not show any accommodations (as many above have mentioned).
So, I guess my question is, where would you suggest spending the first night based on the current information available? Or, just show up in Lisbon and trust The Way?
