camino way that starts south of lisbon...?

[mayaga]

Hello!
planning to start walk camino portugues in 10 days from now, and have a few questions...
1, is it common to walk from lisbon to porto through fatima? are there any difficulties with that...?
2, are there any acomudation issues on the way or is it all populated with albergues?
3, I would like to start a bit south from lisbon in order to explore the country a little bit more... do you know of any recommended ways...?
4, is there a path walking from sevile to lisbon...? that could be a very nice combination as well...

I really like nature and challanging walks, so if you have any recommends about routes i should pick on the way i would love to hear about that

thank you very much!!!!
bom camino

3. Last week I walked Rota Vincentina (most The Fishermen's trail) in South ir Portugal. Magical!!! I walked froms cape of sant Vincente to Sines. I wanted to walk to Lisbon, but there are any cheap (<20€) accomodation between Sines and Lisbon... So I took a bus to Lisbon and after a few days I will start Camino portugues

There are hostels in the towns on the stages of the Fisherman's Trail. That part of Portugal is popular in the warmer months so it would be better to pre-book your hostels before you go. This website lists the stages. http://en.rotavicentina.com/fishermens.html

Having had a wonderful time walking the Portuguese coastal route last year , my wife and I fell in love with Portugal and decided to do the central route in reverse this year ending up in Fatima.

Obviously there is lots of info on this route, and we could walk to Tomar then cut across but there is a direct route from Rabacal. I am struggling to find any info about this, can any of you wonderful people make any recommendations about accomodation after Rabacal, are there albergues, is there an albergue in Fatima itself ?

thanks in advance

Here all information about o caminho para Fátima in english

Associação de Amigos dos Caminhos de Fátima

On the map I see a road ,sometimes with dirtpaths from Rabaçal to Fátima. About 60 kms . But do not know the area others than I walked to Rabaçal on the waymarked path .(Rabaçal is famous about a Roman excavation and its cheese.
Try it ! Nearby the roundabout entering the village (for you obviously the opposite way leaving the village and nearby the albergue is a kind of small bar where they serve an excellent cheeseplate.
I would advise to follow -if you meet them -pilgrims to Fátima -you most of the time recognize them for their yellow safetyvests , a light daypack and sneakers or light sportschoes. They take the shortest way so do'nt be surprised they walk on the hardshoulder of a motor way. (I do not like that by the way. Evry years pilgrims to Fátima are killed in the traffic)
