[Grahammac]

Hivall. I am about to walk along the interior route from Lisbon towards Santiago but will turn off to Fatima. Any advice regarding the route and how easy it is to find accommodation, especially outside the main stops, will be very welc9me

This site should give you a start. Click on the Accommodation option in the legend. You can turn off at Santarem or Tomar. Tomar was my preference.

Route is well marked with the white/blue signage.

Tagus Way | Caminhos da Fé

The Tagus Way starts in Lisbon. From here to Fátima the route stretches 143 kilometres and is divided into five stages, each step corresponding to a day of walking.

I'm assuming you mean the central route.

The Interior does not go through Lisbon; it's a completely different Caminho.

Make sure to stop at The Pilgrim’s office in Lisbon. They will have all the information you need. See this thread.

Many thanks guys. Just what I needed. I do mean the central route, and Tomar is my planned "turn left". I also plan to visit the Pilgrim Office before leaving.

You could be the first forum member to post pictures and your impressions. It’s only been open a few weeks. Bom caminho,

Ps. They give advice/info on both the caminho and the route to Fatima, so you should be good to go when you leave there.

Hi. I will do.

We hiked to Tomar then 30 k (one day) to Fatima. It was perfect

Picked up our credentials at the Lisbon Cathedral this afternoon. The ladies were extremely helpful. Our thanks to peregrina2000 for highlighting that the office is open for pilgrims starting their Camino in Lisbon.

Great to see pictures and to hear that the staff is helpful (though I expected that would be the case). Bom caminho to you both!

Oh, no, looking at the pictures, I’m wondering if you went to the pilgrim office. The pictures look like you were at the Cathedral office. The pilgrim office I have been told about, run by Via Lusitana, is a small room in the Igreja da Conceição Velha (Rua da Alfândega, downtown). Completely separate from the church, only the entrance is shared.
