Stage 8. Alvaiázere – Ansião (22.7 km)

We start the journey from Alvaiázere heading to Ansião, with a distance of 22.7 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 Way gives you a break with a shorter, very pleasant stage. You leave Alvaiázere from its church and head into the Ariques range, among holm oaks, olive trees and centuries-old oaks, with wide views for much of the route. You reach Ansião, a town in Leiria proud of the Solar dos Condes de Castelo Melhor, the only Manueline building in the district and a National Monument.
