Stage 2. Alpriate – Vila Franca de Xira (18.8 km)

We start the journey from Alpriate heading to Vila Franca de Xira, with a distance of 18.8 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.

A short stage in which you can still feel the pulse of Lisbon nearby. You look for the Tagus again through Póvoa de Santa Iria and cross the Tagus Estuary park and the praia dos Pescadores, a good place to catch your breath. The second half runs along pleasant wooden boardwalks by the river. Watch out for the road section before Alhandra; from there, a quiet cycle path drops you in Vila Franca de Xira.
