Best 5 day stretch on Camino Portugués (Lisbon-Porto)

Hello everyone! I am reaching out to you all about the stretch between Lisbon and Porto on the Camino Portugués. I only have 5-6 days after a study abroad program in Lisbon in summer 2022 but The Camino is calling! My questions are:
  1. Would I be able to use an old credential from 2018? I completed the Camino from Porto to Santiago.
  2. What would be the best 5-6 day stretch to select between Lisbon and Porto? (Scenery, infrastructure,etc)
  3. Will I have trouble finding open albergues and other or other resources on the stretch? I have heard that it is a quieter stretch, and I have some concerns about safety as well.
Obrigada, Bom Camino!

Tomar -> Coimbra, without a doubt for me, in terms of the scenery on the trail and the two end points being easy to get to/from and great to explore.

Absolutely, you're not going to be using it as evidence in Santiago so it's for you to decide what you want to do. It sounds a neat way of doing it. When I did the Frances I jumped from Estella to Burgos due to injury, so I'm going to use my old credential to fill in that gap.

Thank you for your suggestion! I decided to do Santarém-Coimbra... My follow up question is in regards to the availability of albergues, specifically in Golega, Tomar, Alvaiazere, and Rabacal. Has anyone passed through this way in 2022? I am trying to avoid purchasing an updated guidebook because I am only walking for 5 days (I have a Wise Pilgrim Camino Portugués guide from 2018) and I would prefer to stay in the albergues as opposed to private hostels whenever possible, but with my time restraint I am not sure if it's best to play it safe and have reservations in private hostels.... Thanks again everyone!
