Coimbra est la troisième plus grande ville portugaise le long du camino et offre tous les services et de nombreuses options d'hébergement, mais pas encore d'albergues spécifiques aux pèlerins... à part le couvent de Santa Clara de l'autre côté de la rivière.

La ville de Coimbra est la plus grande ville portugaise le long du camino.

Si tu ne loges pas ici, évite la tentation de sauter l'itinéraire à travers la ville ; un peu d'exploration s'impose. Afonso Henriques, premier roi du Portugal, est né ici et est enterré dans le Monastère de Santa Cruz. Il en va de même pour son fils aîné Sancho I. Elle possède deux cathédrales, distinguées par les noms de Sé Nova et Sé Velha. La Vieille est très romane, et la Nouvelle est baroque et maniériste et ornée de statues de Saint Ignace, Saint Aloysius Gonzaga, Saint François Xavier et Saint François de Borja. Les saints ont été placés par les jésuites qui ont construit (commencé) l'église, mais une fois qu'ils ont été expulsés du Portugal, elle est devenue la cathédrale et a été achevée avec Pierre et Paul en tête de liste.

La nouvelle église est de style baroque et maniériste.

Fiesta

Feu d'artifice le 4 juillet, en célébration de la reine Élisabeth du Portugal.

History

Coimbra a été la capitale du Portugal au cours des 12e et 13e siècles, elle a perdu de sa prééminence au profit du port de Lisbonne mais a gagné à la place l'Université de Coimbra qui reste la plus ancienne université du monde lusophone.

The Road

Si tu tiens à passer par Coimbra, tourne à gauche après avoir traversé le pont et commence à suivre la promenade fluviale. Elle passera sous l'autoroute puis virera à droite pour longer un canal (sur ta gauche).

Reste sur cette route pavée à travers un rond-point et bientôt tu auras un autre canal sur ta droite. Elle reste une route droite jusqu'à peu avant Adémia da Baixo, où elle tourne à gauche. Traverse le Rio Velho envahi par la végétation à droite pour entrer dans Adémia.

Sanglier et os extraordinaires au restaurant Zé Manel dos Ossos à Coimbra. Réservez à l'avance ou arrivez bien avant l'ouverture à 19h30. Seulement 7 tables, mais la nourriture est fabuleuse et le service est excellent

J'ai eu un excellent massage sportif avec Luis Filipe chez A+Therapia à Coimbra. Cela a vraiment soulagé mes douleurs et courbatures. Vraiment recommandé

Un très agréable séjour pour 2 nuits pour 77 euros.
Bonne cuisine et salles de bains. Super propre.
Situé sur la route vers Santiago de Compostella et 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.
