A riverside town where a new pedestrian path has replaced the old camino along the N10. The path follows the water all the way to Vila Franca de Xira and is a significant improvement. Turn right off the N10 and head into town to find it.
A new pedestrian path in Alhandra has replaced the camino proper, but some arrows and signs remain along the N10. These should be ignored in favor of the river path.To get there turn right off the N10 and head into town. The path is easy enough to find at the end of town, and it follows the water to Vila Franca de Xira. Blue and Yellow arrows indicate the way.The pedestrian path keeps along the Rio Tejo into Vila Franca de Xira. The bright yellow bull ring tells you that you have arrived. Unless you need to enter the town, keep along the path. Otherwise, yellow arrows at the bull ring will guide you into and then back out of town to rejoin the path.

Not sure why this albergue is not listed! Limited to 5 beds (3 singles and a bunk), 2 bathrooms, freezer, coffee machine, kettle, microwave, and towels included for only €20! Handy supermarkets, cafés and patisserie near by (and open on Sundays).

This place is everything you need after a long day.
Everything is spotlessly clean. Two bathrooms. Kitchen with microwave and capsule coffee machine. There is a shop right next door where they prepare great meals and also have everything you need.
Edgar is a great host. Good communication via WhatsApp

I emailed Edgar at hostel A Familia to confirm the hostel was open and to see how the route was after the storms. The response was really quick and very helpful. The hostel was excellent. A great stay after a long walk from Lisbon. Thank you
Highly recommend

Alhandra is a bit of a hike from Se de Lisboa, but there aren’t many options in between. Glad I made the trek, as this place was very clean, comfortable, and well appointed. Edgar was flexible to work around my late 8pm arrival and was most welcoming and personable. Great kitchen! Grocery right next door is a super plus. Highly recommended!

Hi all! I will be setting out next week from Lisbon, and wondering if I should (or can) book an albergue in advance for the first day. If so, any suggestions? I didn’t see anything listed on booking.com for Alverca or Verdelha. Thanks!

In the end of june 2021, the bombeiros in Alhandra are not open for accomodation, due to covid 19

The bombeiros in Alhandra have been very friendly and allowed us to stay one night in their previous training room. It is a big room with some mattress on the floor and some extra blankets.
