Hi,
Require advice to reach Coimbra from Ansiao. It's around 50km in distance and I can't locate a local bus line from Ansiao which is a reasonable size town.
Any comments would be helpful. G

You can also ask at the townhall, or at the Library. The Librarian there spoke English and was quite friendly and helpful - as are all librarians.

The walk from Ansiao to to Coimbra was quite nice. The path goes by the Roman ruins at Conimbriga (Ruínas de Conímbriga). Rabaçal is about midway and has a nice Albergue O Bonito.

Buen Camino
