Tour PK1 Lisbon
Lisbon to Fátima
GRPK1
People from the south of Portugal have been making pilgrimages to Santiago de Compostela since the Middle Ages. Our pilgrimage from Lisbon to Fátima does not follow the traditional route through the interior, but leads pilgrims along the coast and inspires them with fantastic natural experiences.
Many routes run directly along the sea or above the beach along the cliffs with magnificent views. On detours inland, pilgrims experience Portuguese life in the agricultural villages.
In Názare (itself a local pilgrimage destination), this pilgrimage leads away from the sea and heads inland towards Fátima, the "modern" pilgrimage site in the center of Portugal. The Caminho leads pilgrims through many forests and over hills to the destination of this pilgrimage. Visit the holy sites in Fátima and take part in the prayers.

Day 2: Praia do Guincho - Praia das Maçãs
Today, as on every pilgrimage day, we offer a spiritual start to the day.

Day 3: Praia das Maçãs - Ericeira
This pilgrimage day begins by crossing the beautiful village of Azenhas do Mar. Later, the route continues high above the sea through the interior, past fields and through villages to Praia de São Juliano, where you can enjoy the magnificent view over a coffee. Afterwards, the last few kilometers to the town of Ericeira are easier.
(23.6 km - strenuous, +790 m, -775 m)
Day 4: Ericeira - Praia Azul
After leaving the urban area, this stage is characterized by the steep coast and many small paths along it. You often descend to small, romantic beaches that invite you to take a dip in the sea. You will spend the night at the beautiful Praia Azul.
(21.3 km - moderate, +500 m, -500 m)
Day 5: Praia Azul - Praia de Areira Branca
The Caminho leaves the coast via Santa Cruz and leads the pilgrim inland through fields with greenhouses, past more and more windmills and through large, friendly villages. In the afternoon, you return to the coast with fantastic views as far as the "beach with the white sand".
(22.6 km - easy, +460 m, -480 m)
Day 6: Praia de Areira Branca - Ferrel
This day is one of the most varied. Along the cliffs, through vast cabbage fields, past two beaches and finally through a huge sea of bamboo reeds, interrupted only by agricultural fields, you finally reach Ferrel.

Day 7: Ferrel - Foz do Arelho
This day welcomes the pilgrim with a beautiful path through a large eucalyptus forest with a wonderfully fresh scent.

(25.4 km - moderate, +415 m, -440 m)
Day 8: Foz do Arelho - São Martinho do Porto

Later, on the way back to the coast, you will pass through a beautiful mixed forest until your gaze finally falls on the fantastic bay of São Martinho do Porto.

A very pilgrim-friendly cable car leads up to the cliff.
