Coimbra es la tercera ciudad portuguesa más grande del camino y ofrece todos los servicios y numerosas opciones de alojamiento, pero todavía no hay albergues específicos para peregrinos... aparte del Convento de Santa Clara, al otro lado del río.

Coimbra es la tercera ciudad portuguesa más grande del camino.

Si no te alojas aquí, evita la tentación de saltarte la ruta por la ciudad; lo mejor es explorar un poco. Afonso Henriques, primer rey de Portugal, nació aquí y está enterrado en el Monasterio de Santa Cruz. Lo mismo ocurre con su hijo mayor Sancho I. Tiene dos Catedrales, distinguidas con los nombres de Sé Nova y Sé Velha. La Vieja es muy románica, y la Nueva es barroca y manierista y está adornada con estatuas de San Ignacio, San Luis Gonzaga, San Francisco Javier y San Francisco de Borja. Los santos fueron colocados por los jesuitas que construyeron (empezaron) la iglesia, pero una vez que fueron expulsados de Portugal se convirtió en la Catedral y se completó con Pedro y Pablo en primer plano.

Fiesta

Fuegos artificiales el 4 de julio, con motivo de la celebración de la reina Isabel de Portugal.

History

Coimbra fue capital de Portugal durante los siglos XII y XIII, perdió protagonismo en favor del puerto de Lisboa, pero ganó en cambio la Universidad de Coimbra, que sigue siendo la más antigua del mundo de habla portuguesa.

The Road

Si tienes ganas de pasar por Coimbra, gira a la izquierda después de cruzar el puente y empieza a seguir el paseo fluvial. Pasará por debajo de la autopista y luego virará a la derecha para ir paralelo a un canal (a tu izquierda).

Sigue por esta carretera asfaltada a través de una rotonda y pronto tendrás otro canal a tu derecha. Sigue siendo una carretera recta hasta justo antes de Adémia da Baixo, donde gira a la izquierda. Cruza el Río Velho cubierto de maleza hacia la derecha y entra en Adémia.

Jabalí y huesos extraordinarios en el restaurante Zé Manel dos Ossos en Coimbra. Haga una reserva con anticipación o llegue bien antes de que abran a las 19:30. Solo 7 mesas, pero la comida es fabulosa y el servicio es excelente

Tuve un excelente masaje deportivo con Luis Filipe en A+Therapia en Coimbra. Realmente alivió mis dolores y molestias. Definitivamente vale la pena visitarlo

Una estancia muy agradable por 2 noches por 77 euros.
Buena cocina y baños. Muy limpio.
Ubicado en la ruta hacia Santiago de Compostella y Fatima

We came from Fatima by bus.
There is a great place right next to the station called Bus Station suites. It's about 23 euros, but has a kitchenette. It is directly on the camino route and just a 15 minute walk to the city centre.

I had a great pilgram massage at A+Terapia in coimbra - very professional with a great grasp of all things sports massage related.

I wrote a long yet fair comment about this albergue because we did not have a great experience there but it seems to have been deleted. I would not recommend this albergue unless you want the host in your business trying to mansplain and give you unsolicited advice at all hours of the day.

Great central location, clean new feel. Single beds, but they’re that close you might as well be in a double bed, especially if snorer beside you! Wi-Fi coverage was very poor

We arrived early because one of my family members had a knee injury and we wanted to leave our bags. The first man let us check in early and was very sweet and helpful. He wrote down our info and let us leave our bags.

When we came back later, a second man named Vitor greeted us and immediately made us re-write our information down saying that the police would come for us if any of the details were wrong. He also said we needed two stamps per day from Coimbra or we would be denied a Compostela (I’ve been told this is not true.)

Later, Vitor proceeded to hang about the common area and give the pilgrims lots of highly questionable, unsolicited advice about the Camino, injuries, blisters, footwear etc. It seemed like he wanted everyone to know how intelligent he was.

He did help one pilgrim with her sore knee by rubbing it with menthol cream. It was very sweet but also seemed to make her mildly uncomfortable.

He entered the room of all females without knocking and began to tell a physio that her professional opinion was incorrect. He should know because his family owns a clinic. He also mocked me for “being on my phone” even though I was booking accommodation for my family. This whole situation made the group of pilgrims very uncomfortable.

He was nice other than the mockery, conversational entrapment, unsolicited advice, uncomfortable lurking, and lack of boundaries.

The Albergue is simple but very beautiful with a lovely courtyard view of the Roman wall. The kitchen facilities were great and there were lots of sunny clotheslines to dry washing. The bed smelled like mold, but it was a very restful sleep for all. I would not recommend for female travelers as Vitor made us feel uncomfortable. I would not stay there again because I felt like I spent most of the day trying to avoid being sucked into Vitor’s incessant talking about himself.

Zero in hospitality When the pilgrims are already in bed, a man walks into the rooms, he has become aggressive when asked who he was and what he wanted. Zero respect for rest and privacy. I do not recommend it at all, it is worth spending a few more euros in a private one with respect for pilgrims and freedom of movement, they close the doors at 6:30 p.m. You can agree with them to enter at 9 or 10, then a man comes at the agreed time to open.
