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.

Agueda is a river town with all basic services, though accommodation options are fewer than you might expect for a town this size. The albergue and Celeste are not centrally located — from the bridge, head straight up the hill, passing the Parque Alta Vila along the way. The park is the best spot in town for a rest.
Every summer, Agueda decorates its streets with hundreds of colourful umbrellas suspended overhead — the AgitAgueda festival. The installation has been photographed millions of times and has put this otherwise unremarkable town on the tourist map. If you're walking in July, you'll see it. The rest of the year, it's a pleasant enough place to stop.
Like Coimbra, you don't need to enter the town centre — turning left at the bridge keeps you on the camino. The next stretch heads uphill through residential areas.
Like Coimbra, you do not need to go into town and can instead turn left at the end of the bridge. The neighboring town is Paredes, which is residential. The going is uphill, and the residential areas continue beyond the railway crossing.
There is a brief industrial stretch before crossing a busy road into Mourisca.

On the square by the bridge. Perfectly cooked Dorado, and the potatoes were in garlic! Soup and vinho tinto were both excellent. We also saw people ordering plates of kale!

This is quite a lively town, with more restaurants and cafes than many along the trail until this point. I staid at hotel conde de agueda and it was quite nice with a big bath which tired legs welcomed.

Fantastic local food or a brilliant burger if you feel like that. Daniel the host speaks very good English and was a fount of local information.

We stayed in Agueda and found a lovely restaurant with really friendly father and daughter making delicious typical Portuguese food called CANAL 7.... the legend is that seven friends would always meet at this place next to the canal / river. Recommended

Ask at XPT for the pilgrims rate (definitely book ahead)- this boutique hotel was a nice bit of luxury along the Camino. Air con, huge shower, twin or queen size beds. Quite posh! It’s just one block into town after the roundabout
