Camino Day One
April 27 in Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 63 °F
Parque das Nações to Alverca do Ribatejo ~19 km/12 miles

The walk out of Lisbon is now mostly on a boardwalk beside the Tejo River.

It was a pleasant warm day, and I put my umbrella to good use against the sun.

My room for the night was in a nice pensión type place, and there was a bar/restaurant in the same building where I had both lunch and dinner. I didn't have an ensuite bathroom, but the bathroom down the hall was modern and spacious with a GREAT shower, which I really appreciated after the tiny shower at the hotel in Lisbon.Read more
Laurie ReynoldsWhat did you think of the boardwalk walk? Oh, I guess you probably already had walked on it last year. I think it’s a much better choice than down that old canal with all the garbage, but I thought it was hard on my feet.

Sharron MathansYour very presence on the peninsula caused a power outage.

Glad to hear the boardwalk along the coast is now complete. The path north out of Lisbon was too much like the route out of Leon. Did you walk out of Lisbon along the Tagus or take the metro to Cascais? When I was living in Estoril, I saw some shells along the sidewalks but I never met a pilgrim over the 16 months that I lived there. [Donald]
