The Camino Portugues from Lisbon marks the beginning of the Camino to Santiago de Compostela. This first section begins in the picturesque and lively capital of Portugal, Lisbon, where you will enjoy a walk through historic squares such as Plaza do Comercio, in front of the Tagus River, with great views from the multiple viewpoints scattered around the city, or you can visit wonders such as the Torre do Belem or the Monastery dos Jeronimos.
Your Camino will run parallel to the Tagus River, crossing populations of ancient bullfighting tradition between vineyard lands and fruit crops. You will pass through the small town of Azambuja, where the region's wine is an important part of its culture. Finally you will reach the beautiful town of Santarém, a charming coastal town, where you will live the magic of its ancient and narrow streets, and the splendor of its Churches or the Cathedral.
Arrival to the wonderful city of Lisbon. Enjoy its streets and beautiful squares like the Plaza do Comercio. Go through its charming old town and take a walk in the typical tram that runs through much of the city. Lisbon is full of viewpoints with great views. It is also highly recommended a walk through Belem, near the city, where you can visit the Jeronimos Monastery and the Belem Tower, both monuments declared World Heritage by UNESCO.
Your Camino Portugues will depart from the beautiful Lisbon Cathedral. You will continue along the Tagus River, crossing the great Park of the Nations along a section that also follows the pilgrimage route to the spiritual center of Fatima. Your path continues until you reach Santa Iria de Azoia, where you will spend tonight.
In this second stage your journey will continue in parallel to the Tagus River (Tejo in Portuguese) through flat land until you reach Vila Franca de Xira, a town with huge bullfighting tradition, the end of today's stage.
Today's stage will be very similar to the previous one, both in terms of distance and difficulty. The Tagus River will continue nearby to guide your path to Azambuja, where your journey ends today. Azambuja is popular for bull enclosures and for the great wine culture of the region.
After spending the night in Azambuja, your Way continues between vineyard lands and fields until reaching the last part of the stage, where a small climb will take you to Santarem, your goal today.
Santarem is a beautiful city next to the Tagus river, where you can take a walk through its narrow streets and contemplate a splendid panoramic view from the viewpoint located in Porta do Sol Garden. Some points of interest are the Cathedral and the Church of Our Lady of the Conception.
