Camino Portugués
12.9 km, 3 m up and 7 m down, through 1 place. Where you stop is up to you.
Every place on the path in order, with the distance from Azambuja. Most are too small to sleep in — a fountain, a chapel, a bar that may or may not be open — but they are what the day is actually made of.
Leaving town means another railway crossing. The arrows lead you to the train station, and an elevated pedestrian bridge (painted blue) gets you over the track and onto the first stretch of country walking for some time. You will be in flat farmland nearly the entire way to Santarém. A few villages and countless large Quintas can be found along the way.
At the start of town, the road ascends slightly to the top of the embankment that separates these lowlands from the nearby river. Follow the road.
Keep on the same course along the embankment to Porto Muge.
Distance, climb and descent are measured along the GPS track for this camino — 84 recorded points across this span, the same track the app carries. The town-to-town figures in my data put it at 13.5 km.
