Hello all! My husband and I are set to undertake our first ever pilgrimage at the end of the month. We are planning to walk from Coimbra to Fatima - arriving in Fatima on the afternoon of 1st April ( the anniversary of my mum's passing 3 years ago).
I have done a fair amount of research and have booked accommodation along route. I guess because it's our first pilgrimage and I'm a tad nervy anyway, I think I am overthinking the concerns quite a bit. Is it a safe route? What if we can't find the signs? etc etc. I'm sure once we are up and running it will be fine, I guess I'm just looking for some words of wisdom from those experienced in this walk.
I think its the section between Alvorge and Freixanda that's concerning me most as looking at the map. We have been trying to learn some basic Portuguese to help us along the way xxx
