Hello! I'm walking portugues road from Lisbon and I'm supposed to start tomorrow. And i must say - i got lost. I have my credential already, but i couldn't see where the road begins. This might be a strange questions, but can anyone give me some direction for leaving Lisbon?
Thanks!

Hi, Kazekao, Welcome to the forum.

There is a guide made by forum members in the resources section. See it here: https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/resources/lisbon-to-porto-2015-version.298/

The first arrow is at the cathedral. As you walk up the steps to the cathedral look down and to your right and you'll see it. You walk alongside the wall of the cathedral and the arrows take you out of town.

One thing that our guide does not have in it is the recent opening of an albergue in Alpriate. It's just about 20 km from the cathedral, so it makes for a good first day. Good luck on your caminho. There are a lot of people here who have walked from Lisbon and are happy to help if you have questions or problems. One more thing -- there's a little document that explains ways in which you could break up some of the earlier stages if you don't like the idea of 30 kms in a day. https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/resources/short-stages-from-lisbon-to-porto.133/

bom caminho! Laurie
