I left the steps of the cathederal at 7:30 this morning, and took my first steps. At first I walked thru some industrial areas, but then turned into a lovely riverside walk. I had to go on and off theLäs mer
Resenär Love 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!
Resenär My husband and I walked from Lisbon in 2016 and it was also a heat wave!

After yesterdays marathon of pavement walking, I had a choice of doing a 12 km stage or a 32. I decided to have an easy day and just do the 12. Tomorrow 20 to Santarem! I also knew that there would beLäs mer
Resenär Lot'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]
Resenär We were knackered after we reached Santerem. Steep uphill on the way in as I recall.
