On the Frances, the Norte and the Ingles the Camino is usually a major feature of the local cultural landscape and a significant money generator. Have you looked up how many people actually start a Camino in Lisbon? Very few!Crazy... On the Frances/Norte/Inglés etc. They all are so aware about THE camino
You can do that, but I understand that the Camino Portuguese route starts from the Igreja de Santiago, a little to the NE of the Se, on Rua de Santiago. It was closed when I visited on the day before I started, but I walked down to the Se, and got my first stamp there after the midday mass. It clearly was not normal to do this, as the visitor booth wasn't open on Sundays, and someone went to the sacristy to find the stamp. As I was leaving, they were closing the cathedral to visitors, so if I hadn't attended mass, I would not have been able to get my first stamp there.I haven't saw any of the loved yellow shells or arrows.
Will I find them tomorrow with sunlight?
Should I just go to the Cathedral and search for them?
Any hints?
FYI: Alhandra is 35.7km per Wise Pilgrim and 37.0km per Gronze.My original plan was to go to Alhandra tomorrow (almost 30km).

Go to the cathederal, get your first stamp there and then head down the street on the right as you face the cathederal. There is a very faded yellow arrow on the corner of the cathederal. There are arrows leading down the hill but they can be hard to spot. Bom Caminho!I haven't saw any of the loved yellow shells or arrows.

Hey hey, not too wet is a good oneI'm glad you had that inspirational moment this morning but I hope you didn't get too wet on the trail today! It was raining hard in the late morning / early afternoon today in the part of Lisbon where I live.
Anyhow!FYI: Alhandra is 35.7km per Wise Pilgrim and 37.0km per Gronze.
With rain forecast today but sunshine the next four days, maybe a day in Lisbon today wouldn’t be such a bad idea.
Bom caminho!
Well someone’s going to ask you sooner or later; is there a story behind your chosen username?Hey Guys,
I arrived today in Lisbon.
Due to a delay on the flight I arrived kind of late around 1900 at the Airport.
1 hour later I found a Hostel and grabbed a paella next door.
Now I am considering to stay one day in Lisbon. The city seems like a beautiful city and I haven't had time to see it that much.
My original plan was to go to Alhandra tomorrow (almost 30km).
I guess I will find out tomorrow
I was a little bit confused.
I asked the hostelliero for a Stamp in the Credencial and he had absolutely no clue what I was talking about (Camino de Santiago? You go by Bus?)
Crazy... On the Frances/Norte/Inglés etc. They all are so aware about THE camino
Nope it's notWell someone’s going to ask you sooner or later; is there a story behind your chosen username?
I’m looking forward to your update. Looks like it will be interesting.Hey hey,
I will write later some more words and phrases but long story short:
It is until today the hardest Camino I've ever made.
Laying in the Bed in Tomar now. I do not feel like writing to much but I will write an Update as soon as I feel like writing again.I’m looking forward to your update. Looks like it will be interesting.
Sending you loveFazit of the Day:
The rain was really heavy.
I haven't expected a rough first day like that but hey... The Camino will know what I need.
I was crying, randomly laughing, loudly singing, shouting.
My legs are burning, my shoes can't be more wet, feets are burning and my shoulders are sore.
I was kind of stupid today and over did it totally.
I took a small de-tour to the Decathlon and thought that I will find back on track if I just walk to the end of the road and to the right.
Then I found the parque and went inside to the Vodafone store to buy a PrePaid Phone Card.
At the moment I wanted to leave it started to rain incredibly strong.
I was not able to find the arrows again and just walked straight... My shoes where overfloating and I was hardly able to see more than 2Meters...
I haven't had any break(just the short stop in the parque) and decided to find the way and make a break than...
Well... I found the arrows again next to the river which I had to cross.
And no Bar, Café or something...
So. I moved on... After a while I found a Bar. 40minutes later I arrived at the Hostel which I called and they promised me via phone to have a bed for me.
Well... I arrived and they where closed, tried to call several times and they didn't responded.
So I continued.
My Smartwatch is telling me something about 41.000 steps.
That is more than I wanted to do and I haven't arrived where I wanted to arrive.
I am curious about my Camino tomorrow
I really love this way
