Part 1 Day 1 - Faro
29 luglio 2018, Portogallo ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
Yesterday I arrived in Faro at 2130. After 4km walk in the darkness I arrived at 'Faro beach life hostel', where I had booked a bed in a 8p-dormitory - 28 e.
Cosy hostel full of young people - mostly girls.
I slept well, but waked up early - 600. The first 10 km went on the in the morning still empty beach. In the next town Quarteira (slowly filling with tourists) I had a coffee.Leggi altro

Faro to Albufeira - 27/31km
29 luglio 2018, Portogallo ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
5km on a nice promenade in Quarteira - I had some apricots and a mulberry ice cream. Than along and on the beach again - but this time full with tourists - nothing compared with the nice quiet morning walk. One short swim (the water was quite cold - maybe like January in Malta ) and a small snack at one of the beaches.
At the end the walk become little bit challenging - the sandy beach changed to a rocky one and it wasn't always easy to find a way, especially with the coming high water. At 1600 l arrived at my booked hostel 'wish & stay' in Albufeira - 18e - dormitory for 15p with triple beds! Fortunately I arrived first and could choose one of the lower beds.
Only 27 km for the first day, so quite a relaxing day.

I decided that I have enough of the crowded beaches and will go to the north - I would have to take a train back to Tunes anyway, if I follow the coast further. So I booked a room in a pension in São Bartolomeu de Messines - 25e. From there I'll take a train to Lisbon on Tuesday - buying the online ticket (18.5e) wasn't so easy because the pages of Portuguese railways are only in Portuguese (my thanks to google translator).Leggi altro

Evening in Albufeira
29 luglio 2018, Portogallo ⋅ 🌙 21 °C
The town is nice, but was overcrowded with tourists. The travel guide says 'it is the tourist capital of the Algarve - this explains it - looking forward to leave :).
The hostel is directly in the centre with lot of bars and restaurants around, so I am curious how the night will be (maybe I should be more careful by booking?).
I had a water melon and bought some wine and olives for the evening. The dormitory filled up slowly and there was a couple from Rožnov as well.
Tomorrow I have 40km to go.Leggi altro

P1 day 2 - Albufeira to Messines
30 luglio 2018, Portogallo ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
I slept little bit, but was woken up every hour by the noise from the bars, from the street and mostly from the other people in the hostel - they talked and laughed until 5am on the terrace. (Looking forward to have my own room.)
I started at 630 with the sunrise, have coffee and fresh orange juice in Padere after 13km and two beer (the bottles are quite small here) in Alte at 23km. In a small outlet (Torre) a man gave me one tangerine and one orange from his garden - nice ! I was curious why so many people here speak good english - he explained that even here are many tourist (maybe looking for some serenity away from the overcrowded coast ?)Leggi altro

Messines 35/66km
30 luglio 2018, Portogallo ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
After another beer (mahou is better) I arrived at 1630 at Pensão Guia in Messines. I've got my own nice room (25e), what a difference!
Thanks some shortcuts I took, it was only 35km, but without the breeze it was quite hot in the afternoon. But the way was nice - like the real Camino.
I've got my first blisters 😞
After a short sleep I wanted to explore the town, but I managed only to go to the next shop to buy some wine, olives, beer and coke for "dinner".Leggi altro

P1 day 3 - to Lisbon (238km)
31 luglio 2018, Portogallo ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
The morning in Messines was windy and cloudy, but in Lisbon was clear and hot again. I've slept nearly 10 hours. The train was 20 minutes late and quite full. At 1200 (after 2.5 hour) I arrived in Lisbon at Sete Rios. After coffee, coke and orange juice I went to the centre to collect my first stemps in Basilica do Martirez, in the Cathedral and in the Igreja de Santiago - there was a sign : "610 km to Santiago" - so let's go!
Than I checked in in my hotel - small room without windows, but otherwise nice (23.5e).Leggi altro

31 luglio 2018, Portogallo ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Nice city - lot of tourists (despite the heat) - queues at the main attractions.
After a shower and short rest I went to the centre again and had dinner (a real one): alentejo soup, grilled sardines, beer, brandy.Leggi altro

In the hostel there were some young people returning from Boom-festival and some people from Nepal (I guess even the owners were from there).

700 the first 8 km wasn't very nice walking on busy narrow streets,. Than came Parque das Nações (Expo 98) with nice trail along the river Tejo. Unfortunately all cafes were still closed, so another 12km along Rio Trancāo to Cafe Granja, where I had salad and beer.Leggi altro

P2D1 to Vila Franca de Xira 41/122km
1 agosto 2018, Portogallo ⋅ ☀️ 34 °C
Yesterday I was afraid where I shall stay tonight, on booking.com I have find only an expensive hotel room for 70e and the only one alberque was 2 km after Granja, too early to stay here. So I called one of the hostels in Vila Franca de Xira from my guide book 'Camino Portuguese'. First, it was quite confusing - the woman didn't speak english, even if claiming so. But after 10 min I've got a return call from a man with perfect english and he had confirmed my reservation. Happy me !!
Another break in a nice park near Forte de Casa at 27km - coffee, coke, beer, water. Nice trail in the swamps. Next beer at the railway station in Alverca /32km. Than terrible 2.5km on a main street with heavy traffic. Beer and coffee in Alhandra /37km, 4 left - again nice walk along the river.
At 1830 I arrived at an amazing pilgrim hostel Vilatejo (€15) - laundry included, very helpful hospitalero! Good, that I had a reservation, because it was full already. I've got a shared room with two women - one from Porto Rico (first santiago) and one from Holland (5x). For dinner I went to the next bar and had a Russian salad and beer.Leggi altro
