Scenic view of Chafé on the Camino Portugués

Camino Portugués App

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.

Services

Café

the two cafes on the route are cash only & no ATM !! not very many choices, I'd recommend eating enough before to hold you through this stop. The trail is beautiful but not many food options at this stop :(

Lovely!

Lovely place, amazing hospitality! I would happily return here :)
Btw. When in Chafe don't go to the restaurant caragol, it's a pilgrims' trap!

Casa do Campo do Forno

A great stop off stage. Only two other guests so had the entire top floor adjacent to the kitchen and living area to ourselves. Plenty of drinks and snacks for sale at very reasonable prices. And the included breakfast consisted of a wide range of bread, spreads , yoghurt, cheese and hot drinks. Comfy bed and great shower.

Absolutely wonderful place to stay after a beautiful days walking. Fatima is the most gracious host. The best value by far. Gorgeous house with lots of extras.

Casa do Campo do Forno

Spent a night here feeling incredibly well-cared for by the gracious Fatima. Well worth the trek past Castelo Do Neiva! She has fridge snacks & fruit!

O Recanto

In that cafe (supposed to have pilgrims menu) make sure you ask the menu and the prices before, I was properly ripped off in the end, because I asked pilgrims options but I wasn’t showed visibly the menu… wasn’t very good experience when lady just wrote the summary on the paper and overpriced. My own mistake ofc, just to warn others to be not so naive.
