Stage 9. Ansião – Cernache (26.1 km)

We start the journey from Ansião heading to Cernache, with a distance of 26.1 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.

One of the prettiest stages of the Portuguese Way after leaving Lisbon, and a comfortable one too: gentle descent prevails among vineyards, olive groves and riverside woods. You pass Rabaçal, famous for its cheese and its Roman villa, and the quiet pool of Fonte Coberta. The main event comes at the end, with the Roman ruins of Conímbriga, worth a calm stop before entering Cernache.
