Stage 1. Lisboa – Alpriate (21.7 km)

We start the journey from Lisbon heading to Alpriate, with a distance of 21.7 kilometres.

This stage is part of the Portuguese Way. Would you like to walk the Camino with your accommodation already booked? We organise it from Oporto: Portuguese Way from Oporto to Santiago.

The first stage of the Portuguese Way, and it starts in style: from the Sé of Lisbon, winding through Alfama and following the Tagus upstream. You pass the Parque das Nações and the Passeio do Tejo, with the Vasco da Gama bridge in the background, as far as Sacavém. There the city gives you a break and the Way becomes a path among olive and almond trees beside the river Trancão, to Alpriate.
