Camino Portugués
12.8 km, 16 m up and 13 m down, through 1 place, 1 of which has somewhere to sleep. Where you stop is up to you.
Every place on the path in order, with the distance from Azinhaga. 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.
The camino follows the main road all the way to the end of town where there is a roundabout with a bullfighter statue in the center. Keep straight here, passing through Broa.Turn right at the next T-intersection and follow the road all the way to Golegã.
There are confusing arrows leading you the wrong way out of town by way of Rua Dom João IV. Ignore these and instead find your way to the front of the church. Walk around it via the square with the bullfighter (your left). Turn left on that road, and then right again. Follow the road all the way to, and through, an intersection with the N243.
When entering Golegã, arrows indicate a right turn on the first street. DO NOT take that road. Instead, take the next. You will arrive in the same place (the main square and church), but you will get to see the impossibly beautiful building that is the Cphotography museum and studio of Carlos Revas.
Not much of a town at all — a small park and an excellent albergue, but little else. The albergue is on the right, opposite the school building. A practical stop if the distances work.
Distance, climb and descent are measured along the GPS track for this camino — 45 recorded points across this span, the same track the app carries. The town-to-town figures in my data put it at 12.9 km.
