In Caminho de Santiago
ALENTEJO - RIBATEJO - LISBOA TAGUS RIVER - ALGARVE
GUIDED OR SELF-GUIDED PROGRAM
The Caminho de Santiago is a message of hope that goes back to the days
of the Christianization of the Iberian Peninsula. Throughout the conquest
of the lands from the Moors, called "infidels" for professing
Islam, the new colonizers got used to giving thanks by returning, with
cross and shell, along the paths that once served to advance with the
sword. Perhaps in a desperate gesture of repentance, they seek redemption
from sins and eternal divine indulgences. Currently, the Camino de Santiago
has an incredible demand, with some still searching for such faith in
the apostle São Tiago and many for reasons of personal introspection,
meeting with themselves or discovering new landscapes and inspirations.
First
Note
| The
Caminho de Santiago of Alentejo and Ribatejo is a conception
and implantation of Turismo do Alentejo, Regional Tourism Entity
(in Portugal) and consists of three different routes supported
by an accurate historical study of the ancestral paths that
would have been used by medieval colonists and also pilgrims
through the ages. The implantation works consist of the definition
of steps for a day, with about 15 km to 25 km, to walk alone
or in a group. The western path and the central path are properly
marked with regular markings and the border path is only geo-referenced.

program their groups of guided hikers or their individual self-guided
hikers. Promoting the best programming, giving all the support in the
field, looking for more authentic and more supportive alternatives than
the normally more commercial ones and creating new and exciting life experiences.

a complete, safe, healthy and differentiated organization in a territory

Prices
Due to the possibility of different programs
and many options, days of walking, accommodation, meals, transfer services,
it is not possible to present a typical price for this program. Each
request will always have the presentation of a specific budget.
Bookings and Reservations
Prepare this program as early as possible. The final reservation must
be made up to three months before the date of the program, because it
takes time to prepare the hotel reservation, the final study of the
routes, the choice of guides and the public and private legal authorizations.

West Way
3 to 19 Days - Total of 19 Stages
SELF-GUIDED or GUIDED |
The Caminho de Santiago West of Alentejo runs through the inhospitable
twerritories of the great white field, opened in several places and
at various times by mining gold, plate, copper, zinc and lead. Here
the testimony of pre-Roman peoples was left, where the still undeciphered
"Southwestern writing" is kept. The advance to the Atlantic
coast, once almost deserted, makes the lands of the true Order of Santiago
appear, with the city with its name associated with the Mozarabic Lord
who founded it - Santiago do Cacém (Kassém). Long alluvial
plains are the vestiges of the great river deltas of the Rio Sado and
the Tagus River and today they produce an intense agricultural activity
and are important wildlife ecosystems. Crossing the Tagus River is to
continue through the long agricultural fields of the current Ribatejo,
where cattle can be seen in the countryside and further north you can
begin to feel the new scenarios of the Center of Portugal, where the
adventure should
continue

Central Way

SELF-GUIDED or GUIDED |
The
Caminho de Santiago Central of Alentejo passes through the old access
routes to the deep interior of the territory. Paths marked by centuries
of conquests among peoples and conquests of the rich ore of the interior
of the earth that always aroused the need for intense colonization.
Throughout the ages, the big cities of what is today the Alentejo have
settled here, having defended the many wars waged with neighboring Spain
and with other invaders from the east with its walls and castles.
The various journeys of the Camino de Santiago Central pass through
the marked relief of the Guadiana River Valley, go through the wide
fertile plains of the southern lands, climb mountains that cross the
territory, return to the great granite plains where the change of landscape
is felt and conquer Serra de São Mamede, the highest point in
the entire Alentejo. There is little way to cross the Tagus River and
enter the Center of Portugal where the adventure should continue ...
