RejsendeLove this, and it brings it back so many memories. One of the things we enjoyed about getting up early was walking through a city like Lisbon or Porto before they woke up. Our first day was over 30 km and almost 100°. The shorter day sounds wonderful! Have a good rest tonight!
RejsendeMy husband and I walked from Lisbon in 2016 and it was also a heat wave!

RejsendeLot's of action with tractors discing the fields getting ready tho. Very dusty!
Be sure to carry plenty of water on the way to Santarem. There is a long stretch of 16 km through farmland without water or places to rest. Try to stay at Hostel Santarem (host Mario). It's a great albergue and Santarem is a beautiful town with much to see. We had a rest day there. [Paul McLaughlin]

RejsendePortugese people are so kind in that way. We were walking in a heat wave and had run out of water when we were invited to a farm picnic. We had 5k more but imbibed with the locals and they even had Fado! One of the great experiences of my life but the last 5k was brutal.

RejsendeThat is also where we stayed our first night out of Porto. It was my wife's birthday and they threw a celebration for her. It happened to be a holiday so there were no restaurants or food around so they also cooked outside for us all. It was a great community meal and we met many pilgrims that had just started in Porto so our Camino family grew that night.
