- 2014_Caminho Portuguese (Lisboa to Santiago_4 weeks in May)
Good evening -
Had meant to post this much earlier: my accommodation info of each place I stayed/rested on my recent Caminho - (to the best of my recollection)
Feel free to ask for further details if needed. And pardon the clumsy photo images below; but thought that some visual might be useful.
Very best Wishes, Claudia
Accommodations in Azambuja
Residencial Flor da Primavera, Rúa Conselheiro Arouca, 21 (Tel. 263-403-263). 30euro for a TINY double room with an even tinier bathroom and postal-stamp size shower. No breakfast. No Wifi. Restaurant "Totilla" near by, decent dinner and breakfast. (Was recommended by Flor owner) Call ahead to reserve for accommodation; owner speaks minimal english only. -
>>> 16.4 km
Accommodations PORTO DE MUGE (UPDATE: July 2016: a pilgrim reported that ownership has changed (as told by Via Lusitana) - the Quinta does no longer accept pilgrims. But apparently there is Casa Del Rio, 500 meters onwards, which offers accommodations for 15euros.)
Quinta da Marchanta - Rural Tourism Farm (From 20euro single; spacious accommodation; bath tub bathroom) - White/blue estate next to river Tejo. Has large blue metal gate as entrance. Old fashioned bell to ring. No breakfast, but kitchen well stocked w/ equipment. Pool. Wifi (if you sit in the courtyard near the owners residence) phone contact: 910 967 415.

To get to Azinhaga, just follow the street signs Azinhaga instead of following the yellow markings. You cannot miss the village because you walk through a flat landscape.)
Accommodations in Azinhaga,
Casa di Azinhaga - 35euro single, bath tub bathroom, with breakfast, (highly recommend to skip breakfast, just take room - 30 euros) Clean; but common area strong mold/mildew smell. Less so in bedroom. This place has a clean and sizable swimming pool! which i thoroughly enjoyed. Restaurant at entrance of small town (left hand side) serves decent meals. forgot name (Dos Matador?) There is another place near by (near Casa Santa Spirito; right hand side) that also rents room and appears much less ‘crypt’ like in the smell department. Might be preferable?!
