I'm a little behind you -- I start from Lisbon next week. Good to know -- please keep posting updates (and suggestions of where you did stay if you have time!). Thank you.
We are walking from Lisbon (currently in Azambuja) and wanted to pass along some information.
1. The albergue at Alpriate is now closed for the season. We stayed there on Friday, and it was the last day. They are closing because they are renovating thanks to a grant from the American Pilgrims on the Camino.
The hospitalero (Christina? Catarina?) also told us that the albergue in Azambuja is closed for "cleaning." We're not staying there so didn't think to ask what that meant or when they would re-open.
3. She also told us that although the fires in the central and north parts of Portugal seem to be out, many of the waymarkers have been destroyed. We have a route trace on our phone so aren't too worried about getting lost. If we hear anything more about that we'll post.

I’ll let you know. I’m hoping for some cool weather. I live in Indonesia, so cool I’d novel for me. But the forecast for tomorrow in Lisbon is 29°!I’ve been thinking of walking from Lisbon, but I haven’t considered walking in October or later thinking it wouldn’t be enjoyable, so I’m wondering how the weather is at this time of the year?
Bom Caminho! Have fun and enjoy!I’ll let you know. I’m hoping for some cool weather. I live in Indonesia, so cool I’d novel for me. But the forecast for tomorrow in Lisbon is 29°!
I am walking from Porto next week along the coast. Does anyone know if there is any fire damage that might stop or detour?. me. Or of any accom which might be closing soon?
We , hubby and I , left Vale de Figuiero ( having walked Lisbon to here in Oct 2015 ) on wed Oct 18th and are finishing tomorrow in Povoa da Varzim . We have had sunny weather except for 1 wet day and that was more heavy mist than driving rain . Temperatures were between 24 and 29c with 1 or 2 cold nights . Locals say it's unusual weather for this time of year . We did not see fires burning but saw evidence of burnt forest south of Porto. On the hill just after Perozinho before we descended into Vilanova de Gaia , we saw where forest fires had burnt right up to and damaging the gable end of a house . There were other houses in the area so must have been terrifying for all concerned .I’ve been thinking of walking from Lisbon, but I haven’t considered walking in October or later thinking it wouldn’t be enjoyable, so I’m wondering how the weather is at this time of the year?
