Pilgrims on the road and friends along the way send me changes every day, and they go out the same day. The Camino Portugués app carries all of it offline, and it's still being built — new features arrive routinely.

A proper town with all services, including the excellent Adega Tipica restaurant and the Solar da Rainha accommodation 600 m beyond the river crossing. The camino arrives at the main road but doesn't follow it — instead it turns left onto a side trail, marked by a small capilla, to bypass the traffic.
The Ponte da Cal crosses the Rio Nabao at the far end of town — the river's volume varies dramatically with the season. From here the camino passes through suburbs and past a football pitch before heading into open country toward Bate Agua.
Where the camino arrives at the main road into Ansião it DOES NOT follow the road. Instead, it turns left onto a side trail and bypasses the road traffic. The turn off is poorly marked but can be identified by the very small capilla that abuts the road.
The Ascension is celebrated on May 25th.
Leave town across the Ponte da Cal, over the Rio Nabão (whose river-like qualities vary with the season). The camino takes you through the outskirts of Ansião; passing some suburbs and a large soccer field. The signs are visible all the way to Bate Agua.

2 km north of Ansião, parallel to the Camino (shortcut) you find this small and beautiful Albergue. The host Gérard has been a pilgrim himself - he came from Germany with his bike. And he cooks very good: a nice dinner including wine costs 8,50€.
This freshly renovated place is very clean and cosy - thanks for a great stay!

This is the best value for money place so far on my Camino from Lisbon. For €30 for the night I have a large spacious room with private bathroom, a perfect place to rest and re-energise.

Beautiful town with lots of cafes and a few supermarkets. Visit the tourism centre and ask for Claudia. She can help with anything you need in the city.
