From Porto to Fatima

Hi, @Emia,
I don’t know about written guidebooks, but I can tell you that the premier website for walking to Fátima has been de-activated. You can read about the reasons on their website.

Amigos dos Caminhos de Fátima | Portugal

Associação de Amigos dos Caminhos de Fátima. Divulgamos as peregrinações e promovemos os caminhos de Fátima e Santiago We promote pilgrimages and the ways of Fátima and Santiago.

www.caminho.com.pt

The website does, however, still contain GPS tracks and a list of accommodations.

Following the coastal route “backwards” might be aa bit challenging. And I believe the Fátima arrows may also be somewhat sporadic. So I would definitely recommend using your phone to download tracks to follow when things get unclear.

Good luck with the plan! Bom caminho, Laurie

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know if there is a guidebook for this route?
I know one can follow the blue arrows from Porto, but I would love to have something on paper too.

Maybe someone has walked this way and would like to share some information about the distances and places to sleep. Carrying my backpack I can do about 18 - 22 Km a day. Also I would like to walk along the coast as far as possible before going inland.

Thanks!

I recently walk from Aveiro to Fatima. We walked along the coast. I’m sure routes aren’t posted mainly for safety and liability.

Have you gone on your walk as of yet? If not, I can help you a bit. I recently walk from Aveiro to Fatima. We walked along the coast. I’m sure routes aren’t posted mainly for safety and liability. Some roads I traveled I questioned my safety but I was following my SIL who planned our walk.
