Mercaria Rosa

On Rua da Sa. da Piedade 29, you will find "Mercaria Rosa" who sells fruit, bread, refreshments and Rosa will even make you a coffee 😍 Only a couple of meters of the The Path, but you have to turn 3 corners to see a door with an Ola carbage in front of it.

Guest house with a pool

If you can't walk all the way to Coimbra this guest house is a nice stay for 2 or 3 pilgrims, the room price was 58 for a 3 persons room. There was a nice pool to enjoy after a long day of walking. The next day there is only 7 km to Coimbra and you arrive early and have the possibility to see the city
