That looks an interesting route.Leaving Lisbon 9/22 for Estoril, Sintra, Fatima, Porto, SdC.
Here is first 10 days/200km to Fatima:

ok folks. I've absorbed your thoughts and rerun our route, linked in my blog here:https://canadianinvasion.wordpress.com/2017/08/02/caminho-do-mar/
The route is a slightly customized version, eliminating the first night camping west of Cascais in favor of a day trek thru the park to Sintra for the night, and other changes like that. Due to Google maps limits on waypoints, I made two maps; Cascais to the town before Nazare and Nazare to Porto. Another limit is that Google doesn't show every walkable path so these maps a off in some parks, etc. Most days under 20km, on the water or next to, cool towns, and adding a rest day per week in Nazare and Porto. Total is 333km Cascais to Porto, guessing 14-16 days.
Thoughts?

I will bee arriving in Lisbon with a friend 9/19. I am going to be considering your route! ThanksThat looks an interesting route.
Just a suggestion. Out to the coast from Fatima is 'Nazare where Mountains Move'.
The great undersea pulses surge up a deep narrow canyon to rise suddenly to enormous heights before collapsing on the shore.
Here is where the bravest of the brave ride. You'll find them on Utube.
A beautiful beach/holiday spot.
Having need of an injury recovery period I got a 2bdrm unit for 25 euro per night.

I hope it's helpful. Due to the limits of Google Maps, I wasn't able to put in every single way point on each of the two interactive maps. I think I left one way point off on each map. I have them marked in a notebook. But it's basically anywhere you see a 40-kilometer day, it would be split into half.
Here is our plan for Lisbon to Porto. The hotels are just examples for distance.

I have moved these posts to create a separate thread, so that David's questions won't get merged in the other more standard Lisbon questions. My thoughts are that this looks like a great idea, and I hope you will remind me to watch your blog come late September! Bomcaminho, Laurie
