      Dag 15

      30. april, Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

      Ik ben een paar keer wakker geworden van de regen die op de camper kletterde. Maar toen we opstonden was het droog en ook niet zo koud. We zijn zo tegen half 10 vertrokken. Ma en Klara zijn eerst het smalle pad uitgelopen om eventuele tegenliggers tegen te houden. Het pad was zo smal dat er geen auto kon passeren. Gelukkig ging het allemaal goed. We zijn op weg gegaan richting Spanje in de hoop op wat warmer weer. Onder de 20 graden is niet echt een vakantie temperatuur. Op de navigatie hebben we Caceres ingetikt. Dat is ongeveer in een rechte lijn naar het oosten in Spanje. Verder eigenlijk niet zo heel veel te vertellen. Het was in ieder geval een hele mooie route. Over heuvels en dalen langs enorme wilde bloemenvelden in allerlei kleuren. Af en toe kwam de zon er nog even tussen door. Prachtig. Onderweg natuurlijk weer de nodige stops voor koffie, foto's, lunch enz. Ook nog wezen tanken. De diesel is hier 60 cent per liter goedkoper. En omdat het onze laatste dag met ons vieren is zijn we buiten de camper gaan eten. Nu staan we weer, ja ja , op een rustig plekje maar nu wel boven op een heuvel met zo'n 360 graden uitzicht. Net nog een paar flinke buien over ons heen gekregen maar nu komt de zon af en toe weer door. Vanavond nog met elkaar een spelletje doen en morgen afscheid van elkaar nemen.Læs mere

      Fatima

      2. maj, Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

      I had a wonderful supper last night. Portugal has wonderful food.

      I spent a lot of time in the Basilica and walking around. They have beautiful parks close by..

      The actual grounds are massive and set up for enormous gatherings of people for Mass.

      I should summarize the story of Fatima. 3 shepherd girls saw the Virgin Mary a number of times in a field. The younger 2 died at a very young age. They were made Saints. The other one Francisca lived to be 97 and she is in the process of becoming a Saint.

      Chapel of the Apparitions.
      It was in the place of the Chapel that our Lady talked to the little shepherds. Out of the six apparitions of the Virgin Mary, five of them happened in this place – May, June, July, September and October – where, by the Lady's indication, a chapel in her honour was to be constructed

      The Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary of Fatima stands at the place where the three shepherds were playing by "building a small wall" on May 13, 1917, when they saw a sudden lightning and got frightened to the point of gathering the flock to return home for fear it would rain      Læs mere

      Day 5: Santarem to Golega

      8. maj 2022, Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

      We started our walk to Golega shortly after 6:30 am this morning, knowing we had about 31 kms to go and a weather forecast of 31 degrees. Today's walk was also mainly through farmlands but with only 2 possible stops for breaks.

      We stopped at the Val'Doce Pastelaria in Vale de Figueira after almost 3 hours of non-stop walking. We all had freshly squeezed orange juice for a mere 2 euros a glass. Anita and Ernie also had pasteles de nata that were still hot since that just came out of the oven. It was a moment of pure pleasure, enjoying the small but sweet indulgences of life. Thus re-energized and with water bottles refilled, we set off for the 3-hour trek to Azinhaga where we planned to have lunch, stopping only briefly to admire all the swallow nests under the eaves of one building as we were leaving town

      When we arrived at Azinhaga, we saw signs that indicated that Golega was only 7 kms away so we took the decision to just have a cold drink to freshen up and push onwards. The day was already very hot and only getting hotter and we were anxious to arrive.

      We stayed at Casa da Tia Guida, a grand and beautiful Manor house that contains 2 private guest rooms with ensuite bathrooms. The guestrooms are on the ground level and the family live upstairs. There's also a games room with a pool table and an outdoor swimming pool for guests to enjoy. I'm starting in the "single" room which is bigger than many "double" rooms I've stayed in. It's full of charm, has the comfiest bed and it's my favourite accommodation I've stayed at so far on this trip. At 35 euros/night, it's also the least expensive.      Læs mere

      Day 6: Golega to Tomar

      9. maj 2022, Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

      The walk from Golega to Tomar was another long 30+ kilometre trek in 30+ sunny weather with nary a cloud in the sky.

      We started gently to ensure any potential sore spots didn't develop into something full blown that would quash our Camino. The first third of the walk went by pleasantly and we enjoyed the relative coolness of the morning. The second third took us through a eucalyptus forest that offered dappled shading and some good climbs. We then slogged through the last third on mainly open roads that mercilessly offered no shade.

      We were so happy to arrive in Tomar, and even happier knowing we were going to take a rest day tomorrow.

      We felt a great sense of accomplishment having accomplished 2 long days in a row under such heat, but we agreed that we would do our best to avoid 30+ kilometre days going forward.

      Tomar

      19. maj 2022, Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

      Tomar is a small town in central Portugal that has an outsized historical footprint. This is where the headquarters of the Knights Templar in Portugal was located (see additional posts). This post looks at the town itself.
      When the Romans were here, this was called Sellium. After the expulsion of the Moors in the 12th century, the site was granted to the Templars who became the feudal lords. The town developed, 1st within the walls and later expanded outside the fortress walls. Today the old town is located around the foot of the hill upon which the fortress is built. The newer town is beyond the old town.
      The 1st picture is the view from my room. That is the castle and convent on the hill. The 2nd picture is the church of St. Mary of Olival that dates to at least the 12th century, though the current building is a 13th century renovation. Many Templars are buried here.
      The 3rd picture clearly demonstrates the importance of the Templars to Tomar. That's a city sidewalk with Templar crosses everywhere. The 4th picture is s city park with a waterwheel designed to lift water, probably originally for irrigation. The 5th picture is a view over the town from the castle. The 6th picture is a formal garden in a park at the foot of the castle hill. The 7th picture is in the best preserved medieval synagogue is Portugal. It dates to the middle of the 15th century. You can see the Torah in the ark.
      The 8th picture is the main square, Republic Square. The stature is the 1st grand master of the Portuguese Templars, Gualdim de Pais. The 9th picture is a typical street in the old town.
      The 10th picture is part of the Camino de Santiago, the famous pilgrimage path. The Portuguese route passes through the castle and convent.      Læs mere

      Templar Castle and Convent of Christ

      20. maj 2022, Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

      This is, for me, the main attraction in Tomar. The castle/monastery was founded in the early 12th century by the Order of the Poor Knights of the Temple, the Knights Templar. In the 13th century, Tomar became the seat or main headquarters of the entire order.
      When the Knights Templar Order was dissolved in the middle of the 14th century and at the urging of the king of Portugal, a new order, the Order of Christ, was proclaimed by the Pope. In Portugal, the members and assets of the Templars were transfered to the new order. The Templar fortress became the Convent of Christ and headquarters of the new order.
      This is an incredibly spectacular space, so much so that it has been the setting for many movies. In fact, filming was in progress during my visit. So significant parts of the convent were closed. Oh well.
      The 1st picture is the main gate. The next 5 pictures are various cloisters scattered throughout the convent. I don't think I've ever seen a monastery with more than one cloister. Here are 5, and others were in the closed section. The 2nd picture catches a corner of the church (see another post) above th cloister. The 3rd picture is the hospitality cloister for pilgrims, clergy, traveling brothers, etc. Social standing determined which floor one was lodged. Higher standing, higher floor.
      The 7th picture is the church (see another post), and the 8th picture is the ornate Manueline window. This open into the chapter house (closed). The Manueline decorations, named for King Manuel I, celebrate the age of discovery.
      The 9th picture is an arched hallway in the convent.      Læs mere

      Templar Church

      20. maj 2022, Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

      Given that the Templar Fortress/Convent of Christ is the main event in Tomar for me, then the main event in the main event is the church. I was simply blown away. The church is round with a squared off later addition.
      The 1st picture is from the outside. You can see the round section to the right which was the original part of the church. In order to build suspense gradually, I'll start with the later, rectangular addition. It contains 2 choirs: the upper in the 2nd picture and the lower, directly below the upper, in the 3rd. The low window in the 2nd picture below the upper choir opens on the lower choir. The entry to the church is in the rectangular space between the choirs and the main, original, part of the church. The 4th picture is a small side chapel off the main church.
      The rest of the pictures are in the round church that dates to the 12th century. The high roof, the artwork, the free standing central nave, the carving and so much more took my breath away. I hope these few pictures give you some small idea of the awe I experienced here. I even backtracked to visit the church again, and I still left stunned.
      I'm told that the design may have been in influenced by the Church of the Holy Sepulcher and the Dome of the Rock, both in Jerusalem. That's seems feasible given the Templar presence there and their devotion to that city. Also, it seems that the design provides for Templar knights to be able to ride their horses into the church and around the Charola, as it's called, to receive a blessing immediately before departing on a journey. I just love the practicality!
      I don't think I've ever suggested that some place I've been is a must see. But if you are at all into history, the Templars, art, or even church architecture, you need to come here. It's that big a deal.      Læs mere

      Aveiro et Tomar

      24. september 2022, Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

      Routine habituelle, on part de Coimbra vers 10h00. Maintenant direction Aveiro, le Venise du Portugal. C'est une ville située sur la côte ouest du Portugal, au bord d'un lagon nommé Ria de Aveiro. "Cette ville se caractérise par ses canaux sur lesquels naviguent des barques colorées (barcos moliceiros), traditionnellement utilisées pour la récolte d'algues." Nous en profitons pour faire un tour et le guide nous montre l'eau dans un bidon qui est effectivement transparente. C'est donc les algues au fond du canal qui donne la couleur verte de l'eau. De plus, dans la ville, non loin du centre se dresse la cathédrale d'Aveiro, ornée d'un imposant clocher. C'est une belle ville, mais je m'étais tellement fait vanter la beauté que je suis un peu déçu malheureusement.

      Vu les circonstances, on se dit qu'on peut se rendre à l'autre ville mise sur l'itinéraire : Tomar. Bon, là nous avons été conquis. Une magnifique ville près d'une grande rivière où plusieurs ponts anciens nous amènent de l'autre côté de la rive. C'est vraiment beau! On marche dans cette splendide ville où beaucoup d'art et de culture y sont significatifs. Un ancien camping y est aménagé pour les campervan, parfait pour nous cette nuit. Pas compliqué de même, on aime ça !! :)      Læs mere

      Fatima..die Verbindung zum Himmel

      23. februar 2023, Portugal ⋅ 🌬 11 °C

      Ich musste den Platz verlassen, da ich ungefähr eine halbe Stunde bitterlich geweint habe..aber das waren nicht meine Tränen. Ich habe soviel Verzweiflung, Trauer und Machtlosigkeit gefühlt, je näher ich den Menschen stand, desto mehr liefen die Tränen, war ich vom Platz, beruhigte ich mich.
      Ich habe Frauen und Männer gesehen, die auf Knien über den ganzen Platz gerobbt sind, wohl in der Hoffnung, dass die Heilung schneller voranschreitet ..
      Oft ist meine Feinfühligkeit ein Fluch!!!
      Aber ich konnte eine Kerze anzünden und meine Herzenswünsche senden.      Læs mere

      Day 3 - Azambuja to Valada

      3. april 2023, Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 75 °F

      Today was a short day of only 9 miles hiking. We pushed fairly hard the first two days, 16 and 18 miles. We are both a bit sore with a few minor blisters on our feet, but we're feeling great to be here and enjoying Portugal.

      Although the busy season has not begun, all the alburges are pretty full, so we're going to have to start making reservations so we don't end up having to do an unexpectedly long hike. The next alburges from here is 12 miles (total of 20 miles for the day). And since we have a whole month to do the hike, we're not in an awful hurry.      Læs mere
