Does anyone have an already prepared information sheet on affordable accommodations for a pilgrim for the following towns please? I can use Booking.com but reservations need to be made 2-3 days ahead and i need to keep my accomodations’ options open. Thank you

Thread 'Caminho Central General Discussion (Faro-Santarém)'

The Caminho Central is one of the three caminos being developed by the Caminhos de Santiago Alentejo e Ribatejo, a government-tourism project (along with the Caminho Nascente and Caminho da Raia). It begins in Faro on the Algarve coast of Portugal and ends in Santarém (about 20 stages by the looks of it), where it joins onto the main route of the Caminho Português from Lisbon.

Resources:

Official Site - includes GPS tracks and a free downloadable guide. The guide only covers the stages in the Alentejo and Ribatejo, but this is almost all of the camino, missing out...
 
Have this on my to do list. Would be keen to hear your post walk summary. When are you planning to go ??
