Stage 11. Coímbra – Mealhada (24.8 km)

We start the journey from Coimbra heading to Mealhada, with a distance of 24.8 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.

An entertaining and very built-up stage: leaving Coimbra you string together small places — Adémia, Fornos, Trouxemil, Santa Luzia — where it pays to keep an eye on the arrows. Halfway through, the Way gives you a break with a lovely wooded stretch on dirt paths, and the end comes among olive groves on the way to Mealhada, land of roast suckling pig and Bairrada wines.
