Need More Convincing Information Before You Buy? Keep Reading!
You can use our Camino Portugués eBooks, taken from our Camino Portugués web pages, as a guide book on your own Camino. When you purchase our eBook guide, you will receive a PDF file to download to your chosen device. All you need is a PDF reader on your device. We accept PayPal accounts and credit cards and will convert your currency as needed.
Why would you want to buy an eBook of our web pages?
Our readers were telling us that they loved our on-line information and were using it as a guide book. Some went to the pain-staking measure of printing out each page, or converting our pages to PDF files to use offline. What a hassle is this!
Now, we have gone to all the work for you, and have created Camino Portugués eBooks for your use! We have edited our web page information specifically for PDF use and for ease of reading. We all know that for a large volume of material it is easier to read in book or document format than online. Our eBook guide books are your answer.
All the material from our Camino Portugués web pages were used in the creation of these eBooks, including the introduction, information on chosen cities that warranted additional information for the tourist in all of us, and each and every one of the days we spent on the Camino ~ All fourteen days in the section from Lisbon to Porto, and eleven days in the section from Porto to Santiago whether the Coastal or the Central Route. (Cities included in these guides are Santarém, Tomar, Coimbra and Porto.)
You will be able to read our Camino Portugués eBooks anywhere, on the airplane, each night on your Camino to prepare yourself for the upcoming day, and even during your Camino, to pull up the maps if you like to track your location and to find other information.
We have divided our journeys into separate eBook guides, for ease of use! Plus, you only buy what you need.
Some Comments from our Guide Book Users:
From the Ingles/Finisterre: "I just returned last night from Spain after completing my Camino Ingles and Camino Finisterre/Muxia. I had downloaded both your eBooks in PDF and your GPS tracks to my iPhone. I wanted to drop a note and let you know that I don't think I could have done the Camino without your guidebooks and GPS tracks. At the very least they made it the experience I had hoped it would be - they helped me prepare for each day's walk ahead of time and not focus as much on the navigation during the walk, so that I could focus on the Camino itself each day. I can't imagine the amount of effort that must have gone into preparing the eBooks. And your generosity in sharing the GPS tracks. Thank you again."
From the Coastal Portuguese: "Dear Elle, I've just completed the Camino Portuguese solo from Porto using mostly Senda Litoral with the help of your wonderful guide - thank you! I've had a magical time. Having your interactive GPS was so, so useful for keeping on track, especially in the cities and when I had to go 'off track' locating hotels etc. Your great photos and ideas for things to see near the path were lovely, e.g. the church in Vila do Conde where I just caught the end of the Mass service and the Santiaguino do Monte where I had the place to myself - very peaceful. And great advice to walk out of Porto rather than take the Metro to Matosinhos - thanks. There were many families enjoying the lovely day (Saturday) and it was a pleasure to experience. They are obviously increasing the Ecovia (boardwalk) even since you wrote this. I did take the decision not to do beach walking as you did (apart from the odd moments) because I didn't know if it would work with tides. Thank you again!"

Note to Reader About Downloading:
Make sure if you wish to download to an Apple iPad or iPhone that you have a reader installed before attempting to download directly to it! Check your device for iBooks, Notes, Adobe or another reader of your choice compatible with Apple products. Apple does not allow for direct downloading to its devices.
If you are successful downloading to an Apple device, don't forget to save it somewhere, usually iBooks, or you may have to download it again after you close the document.
For Apple users, your best option might be to download the eBook to your computer first, then save it to a cloud service, like iCloud, Dropbox, Google Drive, Mega, One Drive, etc. You will then be able to access the PDF file on your mobile iOS device from the cloud service. You will have to have the cloud service installed on your device, through their app. Then just download the document to the device from the cloud.
If you keep your document stored in the cloud, you will never lose it and you will be able to access it from any and all of your electronic devices at anytime! This is true for Android operating systems as well!
Please don't forget that you will not receive anything in the mail, or any paper product of any type! This is a digital product only. You will receive an email with a link to download the eBook. If you cannot find the email, please check your email's junk folder. Look for an email from the Pilgrimage Traveler.
If you are not a techie, and need help downloading the PDF document, please feel free to contact us and we will assist you. Make sure your device has sufficient memory to handle the file. It may take awhile to download.
PDF File Use and Information
The file sizes are as follows: 360 Mb for Lisbon to Porto (236 pages) and 279 Mb for the Coastal Route from Porto to SdC (191 pages) and 300 Mb for the Central Route from Porto to SdC (199 pages).
Remember that these are large PDF files, packed with info and photos, to help you on your journey, and that internet connections differ. When you download the file, please be patient. If you live way out in the country like I do and have satellite internet it may take awhile to download.
Once you have successfully downloaded the file to your device, try opening the file in a Kindle app (you must have this app on your phone first), or anther app offered to you on your device. Some of the apps have a more stable way of scrolling and reading, swiping to the left instead of scrolling down. This may feel nicer to you, than your usual PDF file reader.
It is our wish that our Camino Portugués eBooks will assist you in your planning and therefore add to the success of your Camino. Join all those who have told us that with our guide, we were spot-on with our information, that it enriched their own Camino, and that there were few surprises along the way!
However, as any Camino is a fluid thing, we are open to any suggestions for improvement, corrections and comments for our Camino Portugués eBooks! Just contact us. We are happy to update our guide book if the information has changed since its writing. Without a print version, it is very simple to constantly update our information! We thank-you and all the other pilgrimage travelers reading this thank-you!

Route Changes Out of Lisbon to Alverca do Ribatejo
Please note that coming soon, the new route from Sacavém to Alverca do Ribatejo along the Tejo (Tagus) River will be opened! This will shorten the day from 31 kilometers to only 26. This will happen as early as April or May of 2023.
However, this means that the Caminho will no longer travel through Alpriate and as a consequence, the albergue there is now permanently closed.
Please study the map below carefully, as this is how the new route, in light blue, will look when it is open! The old route is in dark blue.
If you are walking before April OR if the route still isn't open when you arrive and you wish to break up the first day, the best option I can see is to try to stay in the Parque das Nações/Moscavide area after walking only about 10 kilometers. However, I am hearing that the youth hostel there, the Pousada de Juventude do Parque Nações is filling up fast for the spring! (See the eBook for more info on this accommodation.) It is a bit off-route, less than one kilometer.
There are many, many accommodations in this area. Here is a link to a map of the Parque das Nações/Moscavide area on Booking.com, that shows you the possibilities.
The other option would be to walk from the cathedral in Lisbon to the train station in Sacavém, about 13 kilometers, take the train back to Lisbon and stay there again. The next day, train to Sacavém and pick up where you left off to Alverca do Ribatejo, the final 18 kilometers.
There are also accommodations in Sacavém, if you prefer not to train back. Here is another link to that map on Booking.com for the possibilities.
I am in the process of updating the eBook soon, when all the information is final, but PLEASE make a note of this now, so you don't get stuck with any surprises! It is a long stage, but fortunately, the train is very accessible, and there are accommodations, albeit more expensive, making it doable for almost any skill level!
Ultreia and Bom Caminho! Buen Camino!
