Now you can go day 1 to Alpriate (20) and then day 2 from Alpriate to Azambuja (35). That's still a long second day, but it is flat and probably doable by many.
After more then two years without Albergues the city of Azambuja reopens the Albergue of Santa Casa da Mesiricordia
Hey, the Ouro was fine - very nice receptionist, pleasant room, and very good dinner...
...
Alpriarte is on par with the best welcoming there is around - Fuenteroble del Camino and Bodenaya came to mind.
Janene, the actual Hospitaleira Voluntária will be happy about that.
I'll let her know
Surely it is more than 2 years since there was one there?
The albergue in Azambuja was open in other location from 18-09-2014 to 09-04-2016.
There's still other accommodations besides Hotel Ouro.
You still have on the list the old one, closed since 2016.Thanks! Added to our list at https://www.caminodesantiago.me/com...df-route-portugues-route-monacal-coastal.404/

The new one: 12 places, 5 euros (at least), Rua do Espírito Santo nº1, signed since the entrance of Azambuja as "Refúgio do Peregrino". The phone # is the private phone of person in charge of the bureaucratic affairs of the Albergue, not usually there. There is no Albergue phone number or email.
Just to follow this up, the albergue was closed "temporarily" while the church/town worked on reformations. It has now re-opened down the road at Rua do Espírito Santo, 1.
I think this is where my granddaughter and I will head for on our first day out of Lisbon. I have heard nothing but good reviews, and I love the yarn bombing of the trees out front! See you on Aug 12!
Just looked it up in my Brierleys. My mistake. I will still be stopping there, just not as soon!Hi Coleen, Azambuja is about 3 days from Lisbon. I think you must be thinking of Alpriarte.
Bom caminho.

You are correct, I had not seen that other thread.Which is this same one as this one, right? https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/albergue-in-azambuja-reopens.49329/
The adress is the same....meaning that there is one albergue in Azambuja - or am I wrong?
The Albergue in Azambuja is definitely closed, we tried to stay there on Saturday, but there is a notice on the door stating that it is closed.
We also tried the Recidencial Flor De Primavera, which was recommended to us, unfortunately the lady operating the place told us that she felt she did not want any pilgrims today, but maybe another day, we walked away totally confused, the only place open at present in Azambuja is the Ouro hotel where we stayed.
When we stayed at the albergue in Alparite two days earlier the Hospitaller there told us that she is also closing this weekend until March next year.
We found the albergue in Santarem also closed, though the Santarem hostel is open.
I think we may have problems heading north with albergue not open, I will update as we walk north.
In April, the albergue being not then open, I also stayed at the "Residential Flor". 20 Euro for single occupancy of a twin bedded room with ensuite.We also tried the Recidencial Flor De Primavera, which was recommended to us, unfortunately the lady operating the place told us that she felt she did not want any pilgrims today,

I think your experience points to the ever increasing use of variable pricing depending on expected number of accommodation enquiries. Much the same as has occured in the airline industry.
I would suggest that a rate such as I paid would be unavailable if the expectation was that all vacant rooms could be filled at a higher price.
Altho I commiserate, and would be likewise annoyed, I do understand the reasoning that would ensure the maximum return for the property's owner.
